The Dallas Mavericks Preview

The Dallas Mavericks have maintained a steady presence in the NBA's Western Conference. After years and years of disappointing seasons, Mark Cuban's ownership of the franchise has resulted in many positive moves.

The Dallas Mavericks have maintained a steady presence in the NBA's Western Conference. After years and years of disappointing seasons, Mark Cuban's ownership of the franchise has resulted in many positive moves.

The 06'-07' season proved to be one of the most disappointing seasons for a team that went 67-15 in the regular season. The Mavs lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Golden State Warriors.

The last two seasons have been somewhat disappointing for the Dallas Mavericks compared to seasons past. Mark Cuban has realized this, and has elected to do something about it.

The Mavericks have had an extremely eventful off season, highlighted by some big name signings that may have a profound impact on the team.

The Western Conference is loaded with very good teams and winning the West will prove to be very difficult for the Mavs. Dirk can't win games by himself all the time and will need even more help from players like Jason Terry, Josh Howard and newly acquired Shawn Marion.

Drew Gooden will be a big presence in the paint for Dallas. One of the Dallas Mavericks' weakest points in recent years has been rebounding. Gooden should help in this area with his size, 6'10 and 250lbs.

Shawn Marion has been on a few teams as of late but hopefully he can find success on the Mavs. Marion is a very good player who should give the Mavs another scoring threat. This will help open things up for Dirk.

The Mavs have won 50 or more games every season since the 00'-01' season which shows great consistency. Dirk Nowitzki isn't getting any younger and he might only have 2-3 more seasons where is he an elite player with an opportunity for a championship. The Mavs would like to get another shot at the NBA Finals - and this time finish their opponents.
