The Dallas Mavericks have been making moves in the offseason and have something to be proud of with their latest signing.<\/p>\n
Over the past few weeks, the Mavericks\u2019 roster has had a few changes. From drafting Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 pick to signing D\u2019Angelo Russell in free agency, the Mavericks have had a successful start to their summer.<\/p>\n

While Luka Doncic getting traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and Kyrie Irving\u2019s injury clouded any positives in Dallas for a few months, things are beginning to look better. After the Doncic move and Irving\u2019s injury, some around the league speculated if Dallas was even a place anyone would want to play.<\/p>\n
Any remaining thoughts on that were silenced with a recent move. The Mavericks recently agreed to a deal with Dante Exum, bringing the Australian guard back for another season.<\/p>\n
When the deal was initially reported by ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania<\/a>, he wrote that Exum chose the Mavericks over two other contenders. Recently, SNY\u2019s Ian Begley<\/a> gave some clarity on one of those contenders.<\/p>\n Begley reported that the Knicks were one of the teams that Exum considered before ultimately returning to Dallas, which gives him a bigger opportunity as Irving recovers. While the term \u201ccontender\u201d can be thrown around loosely at times when used like Charania did, the Knicks absolutely fit the description of a true contender.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n With the Eastern Conference wide open next season, the Knicks are in a prime position to potentially make a run to the NBA Finals. Considering the Knicks\u2019 position, Exum\u2019s decision only solidifies Dallas as a dark-horse contender going into next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Mavericks have been making moves in the offseason and have something to be proud of with…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":41120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,2494,23296,1596,3139,32552,32553,8606,11018,3141,3365,7193,358,11019,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-41119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-cooper-flagg","10":"tag-dangelo-russell","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-dallas-mavericks","13":"tag-dante-exum","14":"tag-ian-begley","15":"tag-knicks","16":"tag-kyrie-irving","17":"tag-los-angeles-lakers","18":"tag-luka-doncic","19":"tag-shams-charania","20":"tag-texas","21":"tag-the-mavericks","22":"tag-tx","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-united-states-of-america","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","27":"tag-us","28":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114801456344607248","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
