The Mavericks could be dominant from the jump if they can employ this strategy effectively.
Heading into the 2025-26 NBA season, the Dallas Mavericks and their organization have championship aspirations, as one does not trade their superstar in Luka Doncic after he led them to the NBA Finals just months beforehand if they don't envision that trade thrusting them over the NBA's mountain top.
Of course, many critics and skeptics at the national level don't think the Mavericks have a talented enough roster to make a deep playoff run, considering the hefty amount of time Kyrie Irving is projected to miss rehabbing from a torn ACL this season.
