The Dallas Mavericks entered the offseason with cap space. Fans hoped the team made a massive splash in free agency that vaulted them into contention. The front office went for a more measured approach of retaining their own free agents and searching for players that slipped through the cracks.
The Mavs inked Kristaps Porzingis to a max deal. They brought back Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber, and Dorian Finney-Smith on long-term contracts. Dallas retained J.J. Barea for next season. They also added Seth Curry and Boban Marjanovic to improve the roster.
