Dallas Mavericks Roster, Key Dates and Preseason Schedule for 2021-22 NBA Season
The Dallas Mavericks will be eager to make a deep postseason run in the 2021-22 NBA season. It would be fair to say they had an underwhelming offseason, as they failed to make big-name signings in free agency. That was surprising, as they were one of the few teams that had an ample amount of cap space.
The Dallas Mavericks still have a decent team, though. Additionally, they will also be playing under a new coach, their former player Jason Kidd. Kidd is coming off a successful stint with the LA Lakers as an assistant coach, and was key in their championship run in 2020.
So his experience should help the young Mavs become one of the best teams in the Western Conference in the 2021-22 NBA season. On that note, here's a look at the Dallas Mavericks' roster for the upcoming campaign.
Dallas Mavericks Roster for 2021-22 NBA season
The Dallas Mavericks added Reggie Bullock, Sterling Brown and Frank Ntilikina to their roster in free agency. They were also able to re-sign Tim Hardaway Jr. Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis is still with the Mavericks, despite NBA trade rumors suggesting that he could be on the move this offseason.
The Dallas Mavericks have signed Reggie Bullock.
Bullock most recently spent two seasons as a member of the New York Knicks, averaging 10.9 points, a career-high 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 65 games this past season.

There aren't many notable changes to the Dallas Mavericks' roster apart from Bullock and Ntilikina's additions and Josh Richardson's trade to the Boston Celtics.
The Dallas Mavericks do not have a roster spot available, with 14 guaranteed contracts and one partially guaranteed (Moses Brown) for next season. Their two-way spots are also occupied, as can be seen in the table above.
Luka Doncic will lead their charge once again, while Kristaps Porzingis is expected to blossom under new head coach Jason Kidd. Meanwhile, Reggie Bullock and Frank Ntilikina's additions have given the team more stability in defense.
