What happened: Dallas reshaped its 2026 draft night by landing Spanish guard Sergio De Larrea, the 25th overall pick, through a four-team deal involving the Lakers, Knicks and Suns. To get him, the Mavericks sent the No. 30 pick (Koa Peat) and future second-round picks to New York. Los Angeles slid back to take Cameron Carr at 24, while Phoenix landed Peat at 30.

Why it matters: After taking Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9, Dallas badly needed to add young guard depth, and De Larrea fills a position of need without spending its veteran assets. If his shooting carries over to the NBA, it addresses a perimeter shortcoming that dogged the Mavericks last season. The move keeps Dallas flexible for further retooling through trades and free agency this summer.

What to watch: The specific second-round picks heading to New York were still being finalized late Tuesday. Watch how De Larrea's transition from EuroLeague and ACB play to Dallas shapes the Mavericks' offseason plans.
