Predicting where each Dallas Mavericks' free agent will play in 2023-24
By Dalton Sell
Following an incredibly turbulent season that saw them finish 11th in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks will now enter one of the most crucial off-seasons in recent memory.
Not only do they have to worry about re-signing a superstar in Kyrie Irving, but they also have to make the right moves to keep their other superstar, Luka Doncic, happy. In addition to Irving, the Mavericks' front office will have to make some decisions regarding their other impending free agents, which include some other key contributors. With all of that said, let us look at all of Dallas' impending free agents and predict where they will be playing on the opening night of the 2023-24 NBA season.
McKinley Wright IV - Dallas Mavericks
McKinley Wright IV appeared in 27 games this past season with the Mavericks and did not play much of a role, which was to be expected on a two-way deal. He showed potential in spurts, and Dallas may want to keep him around. In a guard room that also features Doncic and Irving, the youngster could undoubtedly learn a thing or two. Wright will likely stick around with the Mavericks or find himself in the G-League next season.
Theo Pinson - Dallas Mavericks
Every team in the league needs a player like Theo Pinson. While he might not be a contributor on the floor nightly, his impact is felt elsewhere. He's an excellent locker room presence, and his energy can be felt whenever he is on the sidelines. Whenever a Maverick throws down a highlight dunk or hits a big shot, Pinson will be reacting on the sidelines with glee. That type of energy is contagious and can genuinely give a team a boost at times. With that said Dallas should absolutely look to bring Pinson back on a team-friendly deal.
