The\u00a0Mavericks<\/a> have acquired another former No. 1 pick.<\/p>\n

Dallas is acquiring forward Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024\u00a0NBA draft, from the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team deal that sends guard Ryan Nembhard<\/a> to Atlanta, according to multiple reports. The move reportedly sends Oklahoma City Thunder wing Lu Dort to Atlanta in exchange for three second-round picks. ESPN was the first to report the move.<\/p>\n

One of the second-round picks going to Oklahoma City is a 2027 pick from Chicago via Dallas, according to a report from Jake Fischer.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks will likely use their $20.8 million exception from the Davis trade to absorb the Risacher’s $13.8 million salary for next season.<\/p>\n

Over the first two seasons of his career, Risacher averaged 11.1 points on 36% shooting from three. He\u00a0finished second in 2024 Rookie of the Year voting behind Spurs guard Stephon Castle.<\/p>\n

After starting 73 games in his rookie season, Risacher started 46 last year and lost his starting job to veteran guard\u00a0CJ McCollum late in the season.<\/p>\n

Dallas also gains roster flexibility since the final two years of\u00a0Risacher’s contract for 2026-27 and 2027-28 are team options.<\/p>\n

Nembhard joined the Mavericks as a two-way player last year before getting promoted to a standard contract during the season. He averaged 6.6 points and 5.3 assists in 60 games last season and totaled 23 assists in the season-ending win over the Bulls. Dallas exercised his team option for this season shortly before the start of free agency, allowing Nembhard to suit up for the team’s summer league squad in Las Vegas. He appeared in just two games, averaging 13.5 points and 8.0 assists.<\/p>\n

Risacher joins a crowded group of frontcourt players that also includes Flagg, P.J. Washington Jr., Naji Marshall, Morez Johnson Jr., Caleb Martin, Tarik Biberovic\u00a0and Santi Aldama.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of Risacher is the latest multiple-team transaction for the Mavericks, who participated in a six-team trade earlier this month that led to the additions of\u00a0Aldama, Marcus Sasser and Biberovic. Restricted free agent Moussa Cisse will remain with the Mavericks after they matched the two-year offer sheet tendered by the New York Knicks on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Mavericks will be required to make an additional move before the start of the season since their roster has 16 players signed to standard contracts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0Mavericks have acquired another former No. 1 pick.
