The Dallas Mavericks are 34-26 after Friday night loss to the Boston Celticsand their next game is tomorrow against the Philadelphia 76ers at home.
The Mavs are recovering at the perfect time, and this team looks like it could make a deep playoff run thanks to the improving depth and chemistry of the entire team.
Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving prove they are one of the best duos in the NBAwhile players such as PJ Washington and Derek Lively II achieve it on both ends of the court.
This roster is the most complete since the 2021-22 season, and the Mavs have a chance to win any game Luka plays.
Although Dallas’ roster is deep, there is always room for improvement. The Mavs currently have an open roster spot since they traded three players while acquiring two, and the buyout market could be where they fill that need.
Here are five players the Dallas Mavericks should sign to fill their open roster spot.
The San Antonio Spurs acquired Marcus Morris and he would be an intriguing candidate for the Dallas Mavs if they were to pursue him.
This season, Morris is averaging 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game while shooting 43.9 percent from the field and 40 percent from downtown. He’s not the same player he once was, but he would be a good choice off the bench to give the Mavs some wing depth.
Dallas already has Marcus’ brother Markieff on the team, and he would probably love it if the Mavs signed Marcus. Marcus would bring toughness and 3-point shooting to the Mavs’ frontcourt, and he has the ability to play both small forward and power forward.
It’s a move the Mavs could consider due to Jones Jr.’s struggles, and Marcus Morris would give the Mavs a better shooter than Jones Jr., but a worse defender.
