Dallas Mavericks

Additions: Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr. 

There might not be a team that has transformed more since the start of the season than the Dallas Mavericks, who have only one game one starter still on their roster. The Mavs traded Harrison Barnes, Wesley Matthews, DeAndre Jordan and Dennis Smith Jr. all in the matter of a week.

The only starter still standing is Luka Doncic, who has been on a tear this season en route to probably willing the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award. The big addition, of course, was the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, who will probably not play at all this season but has all the potential and talent in the world.

Dallas is hoping that the duo of Porzingis and Doncic will be the start of a prolonged dynasty. To top it all off, this is a team that will have a good amount of cap room this summer. Will they be able to attract one big-name away from some of the other big cities?
