Aday Mara's stock continues to rise. Just had a conversation with one scout a little bit ago who is now projecting Mara to be a top-10 pick in this year's draft. We will see where Mara moves over the next few weeks, but he has entered that second tier of prospects in the draft.

BREAKING: An unidentified Dallas investor group is interested in partnering with Mark Cuban to buy the Mavericks back from Patrick Dumont, @TheSteinLine has learned. A source close to Dumont told me “the family remains excited about the future of the franchise and the Cooper Flagg era.”
