The Mavericks new season has a lot of highlights: double towers, new lineups, new stadiums and preseason games

Last season, injuries hindered the Mavericks' attempts to the "Two Towers" lineup, with Anthony Davis partnering with Drake Lefley II or Daniel Gafford for only 95 minutes. In the new season, the team saw hope and planned to make a breakthrough in the playoffs by relying on their height advantages. Davis is expected to show his skills in the power forward position.

Assistant coach Josh Brogmei is confident in the team's height talent and believes that this is a major advantage in the future. According to The Athletic reporter Christian Clark, the Mavericks' potential starting lineup in the new season opener is very impressive. The frontcourt consists of Davis, Lefley and No. 1 pick Cooper Flag, while the backcourt is D'Angelo Russell and Klay Thompson. Such a combination is highly competitive in both inside height and outside projection. In the rotation lineup, players such as PJ Washington, Gafford can also provide strong support to the team.

The Mavericks have also made new progress in the construction of new stadiums. Team CEO Rick Weltz said the city has provided several site selection options, and two of them are currently being studied in depth, but it is not yet sure whether it is appropriate. The goal is to determine the site selection at the end of this year or early next year, but the whole process may take several months. There is also some news about the preseason schedule. According to Mavericks' record Grant Afses, the Mavericks will play a preseason game with the Thunder on October 7 at Fort Worth, and a preseason game with the Lakers on October 16 at a neutral venue in Las Vegas, with the rest of the schedule not yet announced.

The new season, whether the Mavericks' double tower tactics can be successful, what will the new lineup perform, where the final location of the new stadium, and the running-in situation in the preseason all make fans look forward to it. Let us pay attention to the Mavericks' journey in the new season.
