While the Dallas Mavericks have one of the most talented rosters in the NBA on paper, they won't be contenders if they can't shake this trend with their two best players.
While the Dallas Mavericks have their fair share of critics and skeptics heading into the 2025-26 NBA season, the Dallas media knows just how special this team could potentially be after adding Cooper Flagg to their current core in June. This isn't to say the Mavericks don't have plenty of questions heading into next season, such as the health of Kyrie Irving as he rehabs a torn ACL, but Nico Harrison and company have constructed a roster following the Luka Doncic trade that at least projects as a top-10 seed next year.
