Dallas Mavericks: Best and worst moves from 2023 NBA offseason

Best offseason moves made by Dallas Mavericks

Objectively, there likely aren’t many people that are going to argue that the Dallas Mavericks haven’t had a good offseason. It probably hasn’t been great, due to the lack of a big splash move, but it’s hard to sit here and argue that they haven’t improved their roster from last season.

The question is, will these moves be enough to help them make a return as a contender in the Western Conference? Let’s look at a couple of their better offseason moves.

Acquiring Grant Williams 

You can’t praise the Mavs more than the move they made for Grant Williams. There may be people that aren’t entirely sold on Williams as a full-time starter but with how productive he was when given an opportunity in Boston, he deserved a shot to prove his worth. Dallas signed him to a four-year, $54 million deal. That’s fair.

All Grant needs to be is a versatile 3-and-D wing/big. If he can be that, this signing will end up being a huge win for the Mavs.

Signing Seth Curry 

The signing of Seth Curry is such a small move that could end up paying huge dividends for the Mavs. He adds some depth to the backcourt and gives the team a little room for error heading into the season with Kyrie Irving on the roster.

He may not be a full-time starter in the league, but he’s good enough that he can still be a difference-maker in spurts. This was one of the better, underrated offseason moves made by any team.
