The Dallas Mavericks have had a very strange offseason thus far. It started with a lot of hope coming from the possibility of adding Mike Conley and Hassan Whiteside to the roster. Both would have been incredible additions to the team and been an immediate boost in the western conference.
It then went to complete despair as Conley elected to stay in Memphis and Whiteside stayed in Miami, leaving the Mavs scrambling with apparently no backup plan. The Kevin Durant sweepstakes were happening and most free agents had no intention to sit around and wait for his decision so they signed away without Dallas meeting with them.
