The Dallas Mavericks have plenty of talent entering the 2026-27 season.

But does the roster actually fit?

On this edition of the Mavericks Daily Blitz, we break down Cooper Flagg entering Year 2, Kyrie Irving’s role, new head coach Dusty May and the biggest questions surrounding Dallas’ new-look roster.

Flagg is no longer a rookie. After winning 2025-26 NBA Rookie of the Year, the expectation now shifts toward becoming a more efficient creator, shooter and decision-maker in his second season. NBA.com

We also discuss:

🏀 How much bigger Cooper Flagg’s role should become

🏀 Why Kyrie Irving is still critical to the offense

🏀 Whether Dallas has enough shooting around its stars

🏀 Max Christie’s importance as a perimeter threat

🏀 The Mavericks’ crowded frontcourt and rotation

🏀 How Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington fit

🏀 Whether Sergio de Larrea can help solve the playmaking question

🏀 What Dusty May must figure out before opening night

🏀 Whether this roster can become a legitimate long-term core

The Mavericks have depth, youth and versatility.

Now they have to make all of it work together.
