The Dallas Mavericks face major questions about their roster as preseason overreactions roll in, including whether Anthony Davis, Cooper Flagg, and Kyrie Irving are the keys to NBA championship contention. Will the Mavs’ new trio of Cooper Flagg, Dereck Lively II, and PJ Washington transform Dallas' defense, and can the team overcome its three-point shooting challenges in the NBA this season?
