Mavericks offseason outlook, No. 3: P.J. Washington starts at SF until further notice
The official start of the offseason will begin June 25 when the Dallas Mavericks are on the clock for the 2025 NBA draft.
While it’s safe to presume Cooper Flagg will be the first name uttered by NBA commissioner Adam Silver, the Mavericks remain an unfinished project that will need more roster reconstruction during free agency and trade season.
A champion has yet to be crowned for the 2024-25 NBA season, but it’s never too early to start looking ahead to next season.
We’re taking a look at where the Mavericks stand position by position. Monday’s breakdown featured the Mavericks’ precarious point guard situation. Tuesday, we looked at shooting guard. Today is all about the small forwards, and Dallas is stacked at this position.
Small forward
On the roster: P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin, Olivier Maxence-Prosper, Kessler Edwards (two-way)
The starter: Washington. After playing the last two seasons as the team’s power forward, Washington can transition to his natural position with Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II occupying the front court.
The wild card: Of the two wild cards for this position, one is on the roster (Klay Thompson) and one is not (presumptive No. 1 overall pick Flagg). Depending on the Mavericks’ guard situation, it’s possible head coach Jason Kidd could continue to play Thompson at small forward. And in the event Flagg blossoms into an undeniable two-way force at the NBA level, it would be hard to envision him not starting alongside Davis and Lively. But nothing’s guaranteed in this league, and Flagg will need to have a significant showing during training camp and possibly dominant reps throughout the regular season.
Outlook: Kidd has the most options at his disposal at small forward. He will lean heavily on Washington for his two-way versatility, but also Marshall for his ability to play point forward.
Washington averaged 14.7 points during the regular season, his highest since the 2022-23 season. He often took the challenge of guarding the best perimeter player on a nightly basis, when healthy. Marshall signed a three-year deal with the Mavericks last season and produced his best year as a professional. He had career highs across nearly every statistical category and showed he can provide offensive sparks when needed. His signature right-handed floater came in handy for the Mavericks more often than not.
Another option for the Mavericks is Martin, who will benefit from an offseason to fully recover from the hip strain that hindered him throughout the final month of the season. His length and ability to stay in front of his man on the defensive end is what makes him valuable.
If the Mavericks run into another injury crisis, Prosper and Edwards have the experience to serve as “next man up” emergency options at small forward.

A contract worker was killed by a falling tree on Monday afternoon in Washington County, officials said.
The Washington County Office of the Coroner said in a news release that the contractor was killed after the tree fell on them around 4 p.m. The worker, who was not immediately identified, was hired to cut down a tree at a residence on Lynn Portal Road in Canton Township, and it fell in an unintended direction, killing the person, the coroner said.
No other information was immediately released on Monday evening. The Greene-Washington Regional Police Department and the coroner are investigating.
This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
On September 11, 2025, after 11 years at the Washington Post as an editor and columnist, I was fired via email.
In the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk killing, I did what I have always done— and was expected to do — as a public voice and columnist on race, gender, and culture: I commented on America’s racial double standards in public discourse when it comes to political violence. You can read my posts below.
And then this post of mine:
The very next day, I was fired from my job at the Washington Post without so much as a conversation.
According to the termination letter from the Post, the company cited these two Bluesky posts, claimed that I disparaged white men, accused me of ‘gross misconduct’, and that my Bluesky posts “potentially endanger[ed] the physical safety of our staff”.
You can read the letter for yourself here.
In October, along with the Washington Post Guild and the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, we filed a grievance against the Post, challenging the termination.
So, I have some updates…
The arbitration hearing will be this Thursday, June 4, in Washington, D.C.
As the last remaining Black full-time staff columnist in the Washington Post’s Opinions section, I was very aware of what my firing represented for diversity in newsrooms.
While newsroom diversity is absolutely critical, it is not the only principle at stake. I am fighting for journalists’ rights to do their jobs, to comment on matters of public concern without fear of censorship, retaliation, or political pressure.
And this is a battle well worth having.
I am thankful for the support of the Washington Post Guild, my lawyers at the Washington Baltimore News Guild, as well as Norman Eisen and the legal support from the Democracy Defenders Fund.
And of course, I am deeply grateful to my readers, followers, friends, mentors, and the industry peers who have supported me throughout my career and through what has been one of the most personally and professionally challenging periods of my life.
The stakes are high, but I’m ready.
Let’s go.
