#2010 DALLAS MAVERICKS ROSTER FREE#
Aside from re-signing Irving, the Mavs ended up making multiple trades and signings in free agency in order to have a chance to get back in the playoffs and prove that their run to the Western Conference Finals in 2022 was no fluke. Two players cannot win a championship alone, though, which is why Dallas continued to be aggressive in their hunt for more talent this summer. Now signed through the 2025-26 season, the eight-time All-Star guard is focused solely on competing for a championship with Luka. Irving played well alongside Doncic in the 20 games he spent with the Mavericks last season, which is why he ultimately decided to return on a new three-year, $126 million contract. He's open, he's smart, he's always looking to learn things, and to me he's an interesting guy that's just misunderstood.” Everybody sees all the noise and everything around him, but when you actually talk to him, I like him. “Kyrie just loves basketball and loves going to games, so no, I wasn't concerned about that, but we traded for him because we wanted him to be a long-term piece,” Cuban said on SiriusXM earlier this offseason. Not to mention, Cuban has stated multiple times that he envisions Irving being a long-term building block for the franchise and a player that is willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. Finding the help that Luka needs has been a point of emphasis from owner Mark Cuban himself, which is why Dallas made a big move at the trade deadline last year by acquiring Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets.ĭespite all the controversy that has surrounded Irving through the years, the Mavs' need for another All-Star outweighed the risk that came with this trade. Luka Doncic has been the face of this franchise since he was drafted in 2018, yet he alone was not able to carry the team to success during the 2022-23 season. Disappointment and frustration surrounded the organization this past season though, as the Mavs won just 38 games and they failed to make the postseason. They made it to the Western Conference Finals in Jason Kidd's first season as the head coach and won 52 games, their most since the 2010-11 campaign. The 2021-22 season proved to be a massive step in the right direction for the Dallas Mavericks.
