The Mavericks tip off the regular season one month from today and they are coming off of what has been widely applauded as a successful offseason.
They addressed their most-glaring need – reliable perimeter shooting – with the addition of Klay Thompson. And while it always stings to lose players like Josh Green and Tim Hardaway Jr., you can’t have everything.
The salary cap makes sure of that.
But the Mavericks improved. Thompson alone would be a big win. He’s probably the biggest free-agent acquisition the organization has ever snagged.
Tack on Spencer Dinwiddie, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes and you have three more players who will have an impact in the rotation, if not starting some games during a long season.
