Dallas Mavericks

Key Players Added: Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut, Deron Williams
Key Players Lost: Chandler Parsons, JaVale McGee
Key Players Re-signed: Dwight Powell

Harrison Barnes was a bit quieter of a player than most fans wanted him to be, but as the 4th scoring option behind 3 All-Stars, its hard to make a huge splash. His 38.5% FG percentage in the 2016 playoffs starts to make you question if he really deserves that max contract. Andrew Bogut is certainly an underrated defender and he never had to produce much offensively for Golden State. Both players will have crucial roles in Dallas, but I’m not sure if they’ll be enough to keep the Mavs a playoff team in the deep Western Conference. And Dirk; he’s about to get PAID.

Grade: B-

Next: Denver Nuggets
