With the season drawing closer everyday, the staff wanted to make its predictions on who the Dallas Mavericks MVP will be in the upcoming season.

In general, over the last nearly 20 years, this question was basically useless. Dirk Nowitzki has been the Dallas Mavericks Most Valuable Player really since his 2^nd year in the league, and with a living legend like him, it is still hard to bet against the big German.

However, maybe for the first time realistically since the big 3 of Nowitzki, Steve Nash, and Michael Finley took the floor together, the Mavericks have other options to take over as the team MVP. Young players, future potential stars, and established but younger veterans all have a shot to be the team’s best player.

Dirk defied all odds last season by leading the team once again to a winning record and a playoff berth. Now at 38 years old, he will look to do it again but with hope that someone can come and help him out this year. Will that person be more than just a helper and look to take over for the aging star?

Our staff took the time to look through the roster and make some predictions as to who they believe will be this year’s Dallas Mavericks MVP. Here is what everyone said.
