Dallas Mavericks star Luka Dončić says the team’s most recent season was “bad,” following a finish that ended with a second-round exit in the NBA Playoffs. The Mavericks place fourth in the regular season with a 53-29 record before being swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the playoffs’ second round. Dončić’s comments come as the offseason begins, and he also addresses the type of teammates or support he believes the roster needs. While both outlets frame his remarks around disappointment with the season’s outcome, they agree that the key context is Dallas’s late-season performance and the playoff sweep by Oklahoma City. The reports do not indicate a specific trade target or roster move, but they do present Dončić’s assessment of the season as a starting point for changes during the offseason. Overall, Dončić’s statements focus on what went wrong and what kinds of team help he wants going forward.
