The Mavericks Master Plan For Next Season

The Dallas Mavericks rebounded after a disastrous 2021-22 season by retaining Kyrie Irving and adding defensive pieces like Grant Williams. Their elite Luka Doncic/Irving backcourt gives them top tier offense, but defense was the issue last year. Now shored up on that end, Dallas’ one remaining need is a third star-level scorer to rely on if Doncic or Irving get injured. Their ideal target is versatile Raptors forward Pascal Siakam, who would perfectly fill the role of third option and provide length and defense. The Mavs have the pieces to make a competitive offer to Toronto for Siakam on an expiring deal. If Dallas fails to add another reliable scoring threat, they risk wasting another year of Luka’s prime and potentially losing him long-term. This video analyzes how acquiring Siakam could elevate the Mavs to true contenders.
