Dallas Mavericks: 3 big questions heading into 2019-20

3. Were this offseason’s transactions enough to support a playoff push?

Here’s a list of some key Dallas Mavericks offseason moves:

• Sign-and-trade for Delon Wright
• Acquired Seth Curry & Boban Marjanovic via free agency
• Re-signed J.J. Barea, Maxi Kleber, Dwight Powell, Dorian Finney-Smith & Kristaps Porzingis

Barea is currently recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon he suffered in January. He’s also 35 years old. A steady veteran presence both on the court and in the locker room, bringing him back on a one-year deal isn’t a bad move. How he fits with this year’s crop of point guards is questionable, though.

Kleber was signed to a four-year, $35 million contract to return to the team. Both the length of the deal and the price tag may sound like a bit much, and they are. Finney-Smith’s three-year, $12 million commitment seems like a more accurate estimate of value.

Powell showed he could play down the stretch as the Mavericks’ starting center and will likely hold down that role again in 2019. With Porzingis manning the middle alongside him, the 28-year-old should continue to play productive basketball.

The new faces on the team are the icing on the cake. Curry is a three-point marksman, Wright is a steady backup point guard with the ability to start in spurts if he needs to and Marjanovich is a solid backup center. Depth at multiple positions certainly doesn’t hurt. Regardless of how good Doncic and Porzingis turn out to be, Dallas will only go as far as its role players will take it.
