The season is far away, but preparation is already beginning.
Soon after the Golden State Warriors reclaimed their position as the NBA’s best team, winning the 2022 NBA Finals, ESPN turned their eyes toward next season. Even with the season itself feeling so far away, the preparation is already beginning. The Dallas Mavericks themselves have already reportedly made moves for next season’s roster, acquiring big man Christian Wood in a trade with the Houston Rockets.
ESPN released their first NBA Power Rankings for the 2022-23 season: way-too-early edition Friday morning, putting the Mavericks at fifth going into next season, the third team in the Western Conference.
