2024–25 Dallas Mavericks season 2024–25 NBA season by team
NBA professional basketball team season
The 2024–25 Dallas Mavericks season is the 45th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks would look to return to the NBA Finals following their 4–1 defeat to the championship winning Boston Celtics . On July 6, 2024, the Mavericks would complete a six-team sign-and-trade that saw them acquire four-time champion shooting guard Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors , breaking apart the Splash Brothers duo there in the process. Before this season began, the Mavericks would also leave Bally Sports Southwest (later rebranded to FanDuel Sports Network Southwest as of October 21, 2024) in order to air games with TEGNA Inc. owned stations within the state of Texas .
Draft
The Mavericks entered this draft with a second-round pick.[ 2] [ 3] Hukporti was traded on draft day to the New York Knicks with the draft rights to Petteri Koponen and cash considerations in exchange for the draft rights to Melvin Ajinça .[ 4]
