The Dallas Mavericks roster for the 2023-24 season could go either way. Despite not being able to make the playoffs last season, Mark Cuban decided to re-sign Superstar Kyrie Irving on a 3-year $126 million contract. Kyrie joined forces with Luka Doncic in February and did not get enough time to build chemistry with the Slovenian Sensation. Now that he has signed with the team for a longer period, fans have high hopes for the superstar duo. The Dallas Mavericks have also made several off-season moves to improve their roster.

Despite having two of the biggest superstars in their squad, a veteran analyst called Mavs’ fit greater than the talent.

While most analysts and fans are considering the Dallas Mavericks a top-heavy team, relying solely on their two superstars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, veteran analyst Zack Lowe has a different perspective. He analyzed the Mavericks’ new roster based on their off-season trades and said, ?The fit is Greater than the talent.? Although his take sounds outrageous, considering Dallas has two of the most lethal offensive weapons in the league, he believes Mark Cuban has made the right moves to create a good fit around his two superstars.

The Dallas Mavericks signed solid role players like Dante Exum, Seth Curry, and Derrick Jones Jr., who can help Luka and Kyrie have a successful season. Dallas? biggest off-season move was the acquisition of 24-year-old Forward Grant Williams. Williams was a key piece in the success of the Boston Celtics and helped them reach the NBA Finals in 2022. The Forward will add more versatility and physicality to the Dallas Mavericks squad.

With Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic in their team, there is no doubt that the Mavericks are going to dominate the league on offense. But their biggest weakness that could hinder their success is their defense. ?It?s not like astronomically bad, it?s just plain bad,? Lowe said, talking about the team?s defense.

Luka Doncic has proven to be a Superstar in the league with 4 All NBA First Team Selections in his 5-year career. He singlehandedly has the ability to win 50 games in a season if he is surrounded by the right players. With the addition of Uncle Drew, the duo could make the Dallas Mavericks title contenders if the supporting cast does their job. Dallas will have to take care of their defense while their superstars run the show on offense.
