The Dallas Mavericks are in a better position than they’ve ever been before during the Luka Doncic era entering a season.
Dallas won 50 games last season, and they followed that up with a spectacular run through the NBA Playoffs that ended with a five-game loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. The Mavs’ duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving was spectacular, but they couldn’t get it done in the NBA Finals.
Boston had all of the firepower in the world, and Dallas’ role players cooled off. The Mavs were clearly one piece away, and they had a strong start to the offseason.
