The Dallas Mavericks were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs by the LA Clippers for the second straight year. It has already been an offseason of change for the organization. Donnie Nelson and Rick Carlisle both left their positions after more than three decades of combined service. Owner Mark Cuban hired Nico Harrison as the team’s general manager and Jason Kidd takes over as head coach. The Mavs new leadership is set to tackle their first offseason together as they look to build a title contender around superstar Luka Doncic.
