With the team&#8217;s training camp a month away, is Dallas&#8217; roster officially set with its current makeup? General manager Mike Schmitz spoke about the Mavericks&#8217; roster in a recent appearance on Sportsradio 96.7 FM\/1310 The Ticket (KTCK-AM).<\/p>\n<p>Schmitz said he feels good about where the roster is at this point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re always evaluating and looking for ways to get better. It&#8217;s probably not a time to do victory laps in August or September or even October,&#8221; Schmitz said. &#8220;Excited about some of the additions that we&#8217;ve made. Everything from coach Dusty May to all the way down the roster. You&#8217;re always looking for ways to get better, but definitely feel like we&#8217;ve gotten bigger, gotten a little more athletic, added some shooting to the group and really just excited to get going, get closer to training camp.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Schmitz said the Mavericks are focused on creating a culture of competition in their roster throughout the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You want a culture of competition, a healthy\u00a0competition, where guys are fighting for minutes and the level is raised. I think you&#8217;re going to see that with some of the depth that you mentioned, and making sure that every practice, every game, every shootaround, everything is incredibly competitive and there&#8217;s something at stake,&#8221; Schmitz said. &#8220;We feel like some of the additions we&#8217;ve made will help foster that competitiveness, along with a lot of the guys who were on the roster when we got here.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It&#8217;s been a busy\u00a0offseason for the Dallas Mavericks on the roster-building front.
