The Mavericks have been fully transparent about their rebuilding plans going forward. Without a single free agency signing or even a meeting, the Mavericks are looking to take the next step in their long-term plan by hoping for substantial improvement from within, starting this coming year.
Part of the reason that the Mavericks have been absent from the free agency frenzy has been their impressive cast of young players. With Dennis Smith Jr., Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes and Nerlens Noel leading the team’s young core, there is little reason for the Mavs to pay for high priced free agents and sacrifice future cap space.
