The Dallas Mavericks are not satisfied at two straight first-round playoff exits. They want to build a title contender around Luka Doncic. The 22-year-old superstar is already a top-five player in the league, but Dallas needs an improved supporting cast to be in the championship picture.

The Mavs are facing a crucial offseason. Luka is eligible for a supermax extension this summer. Getting him to sign is priority number one, but doing so limits their future financial flexibility. Dallas has cap space this offseason and must use it to improve their roster.
