What If Klay Thompson Shines But Mavs Come Up Short? Dallas Mavericks' Future Explored

Locked On Mavericks - Daily Podcast On The Dallas Mavs

The Dallas Mavericks are gearing up for an exciting season with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving leading the charge. Can the Mavs overcome their challenges and make a deep run in the NBA playoffs?

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) explores the potential outcomes for the Dallas Mavericks if Klay Thompson excels and Derek Lively makes significant progress, yet the team still falls short. He addresses listener questions from the Mavs Insiders group, discussing the distinction between the best and most important players, the mental shift that clicked for the Mavericks last season, and the possible need for additional talent. Angstadt also considers the scenarios under which Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd might pivot from their current strategy, particularly if chemistry issues arise with Thompson. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Mavericks' prospects and challenges.
