The Dallas Mavericks made two significant trades before of Thursday’s deadline to add P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford to strengthen their frontcourt around Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, and the moves have left people’s heads spinning.

 

“We came in with three goals,” Mavs general manager Nico Harrison stated. “Our goals were to increase in size, improve our front court depth, and add some offensive punch. Consequently, those were our three objectives, and we believe they are here to achieve them.”

Undoubtedly, the Mavs have grown in size, athleticism, and quality in the last 24 hours, but can these changes elevate them to the status of legitimate title contenders? With just thirty games left in the regular season, will the Mavs have enough time to establish chemistry with their new pieces?

 

We go in-depth on Dallas’ roster moves from Thursday on this episode of the Mavs Step Back Podcast. The Mavs now have a full center rotation with Gafford and Dereck Lively II, after years of having vacancies at the position. Jason Kidd, the head coach, now has more size than he had before. It’s time to go win games; there are no more justifications.
