Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynthia Marshall will represent her team at the 2019 NBA Draft lottery on May 14. Team owner Mark Cuban told DallasBasketball.com's Dalton Trigg on April 30 Marshall gets the call this year. Prior to that, Mavs legend and vice president of basketball operations Michael Finley represented Dallas in the NBA Draft lottery for two consecutive years.

According to SportsDay's Jeffrey Cooperstein, the Mavs conditionally traded their first-round draft choice this year to the Atlanta Hawks for Luka Doncic in 2018.

Cooperstein goes into more detail regarding Dallas' draft situation.

If the Mavericks do get some help from the NBA's ping pong ball machine and get to keep their pick this year, it would once again be top-5 protected in next year's draft.

If they were to keep it again next season, the pick would be top-3 protected in 2020-21, and unprotected the following season.

The Mavs finished in a three-way tie with the Memphis Grizzlies and New Orleans Pelicans for the seventh-worst record in the NBA (33-49) in the 2018-19 campaign. By losing the coin flip to Memphis and New Orleans, Dallas is “slotted in the ninth position in the lottery,” per SportsDay.

The Mavs are in a position to snag one of the top prospects in the 2019 NBA Draft. Expect them to select a big-name player such as Cam Reddish, Coby White, Jarrett Culver, or De'Andre Hunter.

Head coach Rick Carlisle and Co. are determined to re-establish the Mavs' winning ways in the post-Dirk Nowitzki era. With pieces such as Doncic, Jalen Brunson, and a healthy Kristaps Porzingis, Dallas should return to NBA prominence sooner than later.
