The Dallas Mavericks begin a new era of basketball on Wednesday. Last season, Dallas rolled out a starting lineup that consisted of Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, P.J. Washington, and Dereck Lively II. Now, after an offseason full of surprises and last season's trade, the Mavs will have a new lineup consisting of Cooper Flagg, Anthony Davis, Lively II, and Thompson. The fifth spot will likely go to D'Angelo Russell or Washington, depending on what Jason Kidd decides.
However, whichever lineup Kidd rolls with, it seems one expert believes Dallas should be the favorites to win it all next year.
