Report: Mavs will pursue Kyle Lowry, hope to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr.

According to longtime NBA reporter Marc Stein, the Dallas Mavericks' post-draft focus will be "the pursuit of unrestricted free agent Kyle Lowry and their bid to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr."

The list of teams interested in pursuing Lowry just keeps getting longer and longer. The All-Star point guard would be an interesting addition to the Mavericks, as Luka Doncic is obviously their primary ball-handler. Adding Lowry would certainly take some pressure off of Doncic and allow him to play off-ball more.

Back in early June, our Nekias Duncan wrote that Lowry would be a perfect fit with Dallas' stars:

"For as much smoke as there was about Kyle Lowry being moved to Miami or Philadelphia (or I guess Los Angeles), Dallas would be a tremendous fit for him if he wanted to go that route. That level of pull-up shooting, driving equity, playmaking, and off-ball randomness could be enough to bring out the best in Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis."

Last season, the 35-year-old averaged 17.2 points, 7.3 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steal on 43.6/39.6/87.5 shooting splits. He's just one year removed from being an All-Star.

As for Hardaway Jr., he will also be an unrestricted free agent on August 2, but it seems that both sides are focused on getting a deal done to keep the 29-year-old in Dallas. Dating back several months, there have been reports about mutual interest between Hardaway Jr. and the Mavs.
