Podcasting about the Dallas Mavericks gets harder the further we are in the offseason. One would think with training camp right around the corner, that wouldn\u2019t be the case, but for Josh and myself it is!<\/p>\n
We lead the show talking about the Mavericks acquiring Dennis Smith Jr. to a non-guaranteed deal. The Dallas Mavericks have a full roster, so this strikes me as a training camp-only deal with a chance for the Texas Legends to sign him. Josh and I talk about his previous stint with the Mavericks and try to guess what it would take for him to actually end up on the Mavericks this season. It seems like a longshot, but it\u2019s a fun story to track for a former Maverick that most fans seem to root for.<\/p>\n

Before going to break, we also talk about the injury to Fred VanVleet and what his injury means for the Western Conference. We also explain why the Mavericks and Rockets can\u2019t make a trade right now.<\/p>\n
We record a postgame show after every Dallas game live on YouTube!\u00a0Click and subscribe!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n After the break, we talk about the report from Marc Stein that Anthony Davis is finally playing five-on-five after his eye surgery this summer. We\u2019ll learn more in the coming days and weeks about his physical readiness to start the season. We end with a note about the four preseason games, when they are, what to expect, and so forth. The Mavericks play only one true home game in the American Airline Center. The other two \u201chome\u201d games are in Fort Worth and Las Vegas.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n You can listen to\u00a0<\/strong>our latest podcast episode<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in the player embedded below, and to make sure you don\u2019t miss a single one moving forward, subscribe to the Pod Maverick podcast feed on<\/strong>\u00a0Apple<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Spotify<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Pandora<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Pocketcasts<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>YouTube Podcasts<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0Amazon Music<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>Castbox<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
