Mavs Face Uncertain Future at Title Contender
Doncic's Patience Waning After Another Lost Year
The Dallas Mavericks find themselves at a crossroads as they enter the 2023-24 NBA season. With Luka Doncic firmly entrenched as one of the league's elite players, the Mavs have a window of opportunity to compete for a title. However, another lost year could cause Doncic to reconsider his future in Dallas.
The Mavs have been a consistent playoff team in recent years, but they haven't been able to take the next step and contend for a championship. They have only won one playoff series since Doncic arrived in 2018, and they have lost in the first round in each of the past two seasons.
Doncic has been vocal about his desire to win a championship, and he's not getting any younger. He'll be 24 years old at the start of the 2023-24 season, and he's already played more than 1,000 NBA games. If the Mavs don't start winning soon, he could start to look for greener pastures.
The Mavs have a talented roster, but they need to add some more pieces if they want to compete for a title. They need a reliable second scorer to take some of the pressure off of Doncic, and they need to improve their defense. If they can make those improvements, they have the potential to be a serious contender in the Western Conference.
But if they don't, they could be facing another lost year. And that could be enough to drive Doncic away from Dallas.
