More Mavs Talk w/ @MFFLNation

Let's start with the first one.

Uh, Braden Buries trying to get to Dallas.

Um, there's been some reports this week from CBS Sports', Adam Finkelstein, and then Yahoo! Sports Kevin O'Connor, uh, confirmed it yesterday.

Um, I'll go through these rumors real quick, uh, the tweets that we got.

Oh, oh, that's ours.

I get the big screen.

[chuckles]

[laughs] Oh, I thought I had it up.

This is awkward.

Give me a sec.

No worries.

Damn, we tweet too much.

[laughs]

All right.

Adam Finkelstein, on June 1st, so a couple days ago, he said on the CBS sports stream, quote, "The interesting thing is that so far he," as in Braeden Berries, "hasn't taken a lot of workouts.

There are teams higher in the lottery that would be interested in working Buries out, yet there's growing spec-speculation he may prefer Dallas." That was three days ago.

And then a couple days ago, he doubled up on it and said-- On a news stream, he said, "It sounds to me, or at least there's growing evidence that there's-- this is where Braedon Buries and his representatives wanna be.

Braedon Buries is represented by Klutch and Rich Paul.

I think there's a lot of traction here, especially when you talk about a player who's got interest from teams higher up in the draft and working him out but has yet to go to many of these workouts.

I think Braedon Buries wants to be in Dallas.

I think he wants to play with Cooper Flagg, and I think his representatives are gonna try to get this done." His representatives being, like they said, Klutch and Rich Paul, who I'm sure basketball fans are familiar with.

And then we got some confirmation from another source, Yahoo's Kevin O'Conor, uh, used to be with The Ringer.

Um, but he said, "Adam Finkelstein of CBS Sports reported that Buries hasn't taken many workouts, and there is speculation that he's tryna angle his way to Dallas.

I also have heard that same chatter, which is why he lands here.

To add more color to that reporting, Buries is represented by Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, who steered Derrick Lively to the Mavericks with the 12th pick in the 2023 draft..." I was not aware of that.
