NBA training camps open next month and, for the most part, teams have their rosters set.

There may be some trades to come. Perhaps more buyouts like we’ve seen with Damian Lillard and others.

The Mavericks have made significant changes. They have brought on board D’Angelo Russell and No. 1 draft pick Cooper Flagg, both of whom might be in the Game 1 starting lineup. They said goodbye to Spencer Dinwiddie, who played more games and minutes last season than any other Maverick (79 of 82, 2,136 mintues).
