BDA Sports’ Bill Duffy is Luka Doncic’s agent and his client list also includes Patrick Beverley, Nikola Mirotic and Nikola Vucevic. Those are also the three players which the Mavericks are considering in front of the upcoming free agency which kicks off on June 30, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Beverley is Dallas’ target and the sides believe they fit together perfectly but the player has also drawn the interest of other teams including the Lakers and the Sixers. Also, there is the matter of money since Dallas has 30 million dollars of salary cap space to allocate.
That is also the reason why Nikola Vucevic is unlikely to get close to Dallas as he is seeking a 25 million dollars starting salary which is out of the Mavericks’ price range. The chances of the price dropping are slim since Vucevic has been on other teams’ radar (Sacramento, Boston) while Orlando wishes to keep him.
Dallas has also shown interest in Nikola Mirotic but the 6-10 forward is not a priority and is further down their wish list than Beverly.
