Right now, it is impossible to evaluate the Dallas Mavericks fairly. That’ll be the case until Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic both return to the main court. Still, the Mavericks know what they have. Fully healthy, they’re a title-contending team.
Now, Dallas can still upgrade their roster. The Oklahoma City Thunder, who the Mavericks defeated in the playoffs only last season, are presently dominating the Western Conference, and they can keep establishing themselves as a serious contender.
The Mavericks will need to improve significantly during the next month, though. It’s almost time for the NBA trade deadline. They will soon upgrade their roster if they plan to do so.
The “toughest question” for each NBA team was identified by Bleacher Report prior to the deadline. It’s quite easy for the Mavericks. Who will this year’s P.J. Washington be? The team made it to the NBA Finals thanks to his amazing acquisition at the most recent trade deadline.
“Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington were both acquired through trades last year, and they both contributed significantly to Dallas’ journey to the Finals. As a three-point shooter, athletic transition force, and multi-position defender, Washington in particular filled significant voids, according to Bleacher Report. “There is no such thing as having too many of such players, as anyone who has followed the NBA for a long time knows. Therefore, Dallas ought to concentrate its acquisition efforts on a different kind of Washington.
As Bleacher Report hinted at, the Mavericks have already lost out on a guy who would have been a perfect acquisition this season and a former DFW fan favorite.
“Former Mav Dorian Finney-Smith would have been an ideal option, and all he cost the Los Angeles Lakers was expiring salary and second-rounders,” stated the Bleacher Report. “That Dallas didn’t make a play for him suggests it isn’t keen on spending its remaining draft equity just yet.”
The Mavericks may definitely look to enhance their roster, and they’ll be active on the phone, but it’s unclear if they’ll actually close a deal. Quentin Grimes and Maxi Kleber are two important trade prospects.
