After the Mavericks reached the Finals last season, they made a lot of moves this offseason, and it's clear that management is ready to challenge for another championship. They first welcomed Thompson, and recently they welcomed another strong reinforcement, and this player is also a former player who played for the Mavericks, he is Dinwiddie.

Dinwiddie played for the Lakers last season, but he didn't get much of a showcase with the Lakers. Because the Lakers have too many ball-handlers, even if Dinwiddie goes off the bench, he gets very little ball. So his stats on the Lakers are not outstanding, but it doesn't mean that his ability has declined. He can still show his attacking ability after changing teams.

And Dinwiddie was very good when he played for the Mavericks. In his final season with the Mavericks, he averaged 17.7 points per game and was an important offensive for the team. Now that he's back on the Mavericks, he'll definitely play a bigger role on the second team.

The Mavericks now have four leading scorers: Irving, Doncic, Thompson and Dinwiddie. Mavericks management is well aware of Dinwiddie's abilities. In fact, last season, the Mavericks very much hoped that Dinwiddie could return to the Mavericks, but in the end, Dinwiddie chose to join the Lakers. And after the season, Dinwiddie's entire journey with the Lakers was rather frustrating. The Mavericks made it to the Finals last season, which is the main reason why Dinwiddie wants to return to the Mavericks and help the team reach the top again.

Now the Mavericks have become the strongest team in the West, because they were the best team in the West last season's playoffs. Many teams in the West have been weakened this offseason. For example, after the Nuggets lose Pope, their dominance will decline significantly, and they will no longer be the same Nuggets team they used to be. And the Clippers will also be significantly weaker after losing Paul George. So the Mavericks have become the strongest team in the West. It is reported that the reason why Thompson chose to join the Mavericks is also because he believes that the Mavericks have more hope of winning the championship. So he rejected the Lakers, who were related to him, and chose to join the Mavericks.
