DALLAS — The NBA’s slow period of the offseason is here, and the Dallas Mavericks are acting accordingly.
Owner Mark Cuban and general manager Nico Harrison appeared at Dorian Finney-Smith’s hometown charity gala last week, for example, while Luka Doncic is enjoying a final break before reporting back to Slovenian national team workouts and Josh Green is back home in Australia for a hybrid visit of training and site-seeing.
So, this is clear: Players, coaches and executives aren’t wasting their summer breaks worrying about Western Conference projections.
