DALLAS – Donnie Nelson mentally jotted down a few things on his wish-list that he wanted the Dallas Mavericks to accomplish this offseason. And the Mavs’ president of basketball operations made no bones about what’s at the very top of that list.
It involves getting some help for coach Rick Carlisle.
“Getting Rick ammunition is our No. 1 priority in the offseason,” Nelson said. “And we’ve got a great opportunity in the draft.
“Free agency, as you know, we’ll be extremely active. There are trade fronts, obviously, that will be probed as well.”
The NBA Draft is June 21 and the free agency period starts July 1.
