Mavs’ NBA Season Preview - Luka’s Next Step

There's a new air of excitement blanketing the Dallas Mavericks’ organization that was impossible to ignore as they began training camp this week. The new Mavs' regime of Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd has this roster, led by 22-year-old superstar and MVP-favorite Luka Doncic, excited for a new and promising beginning as it sets its sights on climbing the ladder in the Western Conference this season.

On this episode of the Mavs Step Back Podcast, lead host Dalton Trigg sits down with Dan Favale, who hosts the Hardwood Knocks podcast and writes about the NBA for Bleacher Report, to do an extensive 2021-2022 NBA Season Preview for Dallas.
