The Dallas Mavericks are entering what they hope is a turning point season for the franchise. The Mavs have missed the playoff two straight seasons, but the additions of Dennis Smith Jr. and Luka Doncic in the last two drafts gives the team an exciting young backcourt. Dallas is hoping to take a step forward and return to the postseason this year.
Star player Dirk Nowitzki is hoping the team makes that leap as well. Entering his historic 21st consecutive season with the Mavericks, of course, questions about Dirk’s future are going to come up.
