The Dallas Mavericks are one of the surprise teams in the Western Conference. They have taken the leap from the lottery to a legit playoff team this season. The transformation from Luka Doncic is the chief reason.
The front office also made wise additions over the last year. From Kristaps Porzingis to Tim Hardaway Jr. to Seth Curry, the Mavs improved their roster a ton through every possible avenue.
That does not mean they have hit on every target, though. One that got away was Danny Green.
