Dallas Mavericks: 2025 Offseason Preview
The Mavericks need to resolve Kyrie Irving's contract situation while also finding a suitable point guard rotation in his absence. This could be a challenge with a high payroll and few draft assets.
The Dallas Mavericks realistically gave themselves two years to compete for a championship after trading Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. Unfortunately, that window may already be closed thanks to Kyrie Irving’s ACL injury. The hope is that he will return by January, but it’s possible the Mavericks could be too far behind in the standings to make the playoffs.
Grant Afseth of
joined the podcast last week to discuss the Mavericks and their upcoming offseason. His newsletter contains invaluable reporting on all things Mavericks. I highly recommend subscribing to it.Their direction and prospects of being a legitimate contender were discussed, as well as decisions regarding key players. It’s a good companion piece for this preview, which will take a deeper look at contractual decisions for some of their top players.
