8. Dallas Mavericks
Key Addition(s): Chandler Parsons, Tyson Chandler, Raymond Felton
Key Loss: Jose Calderon, Vince Carter, Shawn Marion (possibly)
The Dallas Mavericks will be one of the most oddly assembled teams next season — in a good way. With the additions of Tyson Chandler and Chandler Parsons, the Mavs will automatically be a better squad than last season (assuming the two are relatively healthy throughout the year).
Replacing Calderon with Felton isn’t exactly ideal, however, if Felton is on a mission to prove his doubters wrong, it could end up working out for both parties.
