The 2024-25 season was one of the most brutal and toughest in Dallas Mavericks history. The painful season was capped off with a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the Play-In Tournament less than a year after Luka Doncic led them to the NBA Finals.
Now, the beginning of a new era awaits the Mavericks with Cooper Flagg on board.
