This week in Mavericks talk
The shows spent the week assessing the Mavericks' offseason moves and roster construction. There's concern about Dereck Lively's prove-it extension given his foot injury history, and debate over whether the team's backcourt depth and positional fit are holding them back. The talk keeps circling questions about whether Dallas has the right supporting cast around its star talent.
