Dallas Mavericks: 3 players on the roster bubble during training camp
The Dallas Mavericks are back and have no plans of making a first-round playoff exit this season. They improved their roster with the focus of adding defense and toughness to the talented group. Luka Doncic will be leading the way, but new pieces Josh Richardson and James Johnson could be what push the Mavs into title contention.
The Mavericks also added three skilled rookies. Josh Green projects as a 3-and-D wing that can guard the best scorers in the league.
