Before the NBA trade deadline last season, the Mavericks made big moves to strengthen their roster. They eventually won the Western Conference but lost to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. The team's future draft picks are outlined until 2030.

This year's draft pool includes players born within months of the Mavericks' 2011 championship win. Luka Doncic's contract situation is also discussed, hinting at potential free agency in 2027.
