The Mavericks must get creative as they look to build a contender around Cooper Flagg.

Dusty May's take about Dwight Powell's game shows why he has a chance to make the Mavericks' roster.

Dallas gained another 3-point shooter right before the regular season begins, Jorge Diaz Graham.

Through the combination of two factors, Sergio De Larrea is in the driver's seat to be the Mavericks' backup point guard come opening night.

Masai Ujiri's vision lines up perfectly with what Zaccharie Risacher needs in his first season with the team.

Dallas' wing battle just gained another player with Matt Cross joining the Mavericks' preseason roster.

With Kyrie Irving back from his ACL tear, Cooper Flagg's role in the Mavericks' offense is changing for the better as he unlocks All-Star-level playmaking.

Max Christie has already proven he can start in Dallas, but the Mavericks may have a bigger reason to give Zaccharie Risacher the nod.

Dallas should be asking for these players if the Pistons want to make a trade for Kyrie Irving.

Dwight Powell is doing whatever he can to give himself a strong chance to remain in Dallas beyond the preseason.
