The Dallas Mavericks have qualified for the playoff for two straight years with Luka Doncic leading the charge, but they were bounced in the first round both times. The 22-year-old averaged over 35 points per game and made history in the 2021 postseason, but it was not enough.
It has already been an offseason of turmoil for the Mavs. They mutually parted ways with general manager and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson one day before head coach Rick Carlisle resigned.
