The Dallas Mavericks were eliminated in the first round by the Los Angeles Clippers, and it is clear that there will be changes that will happen in all areas of the franchise. GM Donnie Nelson and head coach Rick Carlisle both ended up parting ways with the franchise.
Aside from some changes in the organization, an area for improvement could be the roster itself. The Dallas Mavericks struggled mightily to create offense without Luka Doncic, and co-star Kristaps Porzingis’ scoring production dropped in the playoffs. Recently, Mavericks franchise owner Mark Cuban acknowledged that the Mavericks need to get Luka Doncic some help, and his focus was on getting a secondary scorer for the franchise.
"Trust me, nobody wants to get Luka more help than I do. What do we need is really the question, and we need a second scorer."

It is clear that some offensive firepower would help this squad, as Luka Doncic cannot be asked to do everything offensively for the majority of the game. There will be many squads seeking to make improvements this offseason, and it remains to be seen if the Dallas Mavericks end up making a move. However, based on Cuban’s words, he understands the issue on his roster and seems open to getting Luka Doncic some offensive help.
