For this special pre pLAyoff episode of Dime Dropper, I was gladly joined by 2 Dallas Maverick fans, Bibs & SJ, to break down all the events that went down and concluded with the most disappointing campaign of any team in the league this year.
The Dallas Mavericks failed to re-sign Jalen Brunson, started the year with questions of if they even improved, had Luka Doncic chasing MVP to start the season, made a huge trade for Kyrie Irving, and ultimately tanked their final game to try and secure a top 10 pick.
