Dallas Mavericks

What to be thankful for: Dennis Smith Jr.

Time and time again, this is an honor that Dirk Nowitzki would get. And to a certain extent, he still should be mentioned here. After all, Dirk could be playing for a team, like, the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs or Cleveland Cavaliers at this point of his career.

He actually should be playing for a contender, but instead he continues to prove his loyalty to the Dallas Mavericks.

However, there’s a foundation for a future in Dallas. And a big part of that is Dennis Smith Jr. And that’s what the Mavericks should be thankful for right now.
