## Resource

The Dallas Mavericks are poised for a major turnaround after a brutal 26-win season, fueled by the return of Kyrie Irving and a loaded offseason overhaul. With eight new players, including breakout talents like Morez Johnson Jr. and Zaccharie Risacher, the team’s offense should finally click — Irving’s scoring and playmaking will unlock Cooper Flagg and the shooters. Defensively, they’re counting on Johnson to anchor the paint and Risacher to stretch the floor, while the return of Dereck Lively II (hopefully healthy) could be the missing piece. Add in Santi Aldama’s scoring versatility and new coach Dusty May’s integration skills, and this roster has serious playoff potential — maybe even a surprise play-in run if Flagg and Irving deliver.
