Mavs Fans, It's Okay to Come Back to the Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks’ win over the Houston Rockets felt like a turn-the-page moment for the entire franchise, with the Mavs off to a 4-2 start as Cooper Flagg takes the leap and Kyrie Irving returns from his ACL injury. Is it okay for Mavs fans who walked away after the Luka Dončić trade to come back to the Dallas Mavericks and enjoy this new NBA chapter? Nick Angstadt and Isaac Harris break down why joy is returning to basketball in Dallas under Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri, head coach Dusty May, and Mavs GM Mike Schmitz, and why the franchise feels so different from a year ago, when Nico Harrison and Jason Kidd were still in charge. They talk through every kind of Mavs fan right now, from those who never left to those still soured on Mavs Owner Patrick Dumont, and how this era compares to the days of Dirk Nowitzki and former Mavs Owner Mark Cuban. They also cover how PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Naji Marshall, Dereck Lively II, Zaccharie Risacher, Sergio de Larrea, Walter Clayton Jr., Marcus Sasser, and Morez Johnson Jr. fit into the early-season story, plus the Morez Johnson Jr. vs. Yaxel Lendeborg debate. 0:00 Mavs Turn-the-Page Moment 13:50 It's Okay to Come Back 16:18 Every Kind of Mavs Fan 19:02 Rebuilding Mavs Fan Trust 24:17 Why the Mavs Are Winning Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/ EVERYDAYER CLUB: Support the show and get Ad-Free Episodes, Discord Access, and the Text Line... 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/ 📸 PHOTO: IMAGN-Images Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts... 🎧 Apple https://buff.ly/2nE23zM 🎧 Spotify https://buff.ly/2D9kZgK 🎧 YouTube Music https://buff.ly/3LCb3gh 🎧 Overcast https://buff.ly/34r6SOi 🎧 Castbox https://buff.ly/4bAM0EL 🎧 Audible https://buff.ly/3SjqZZm Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba 📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Twitter -   / lockedonmavs   📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on Instagram -   / lockedonmavs   📲 Follow Locked On Mavs on TikTok -   / lockedonmavericks   📲 Isaac Harris Twitter   / isaaclharris   📲 Isaac Harris Instagram   / isaaclharris   📲 Nick Angstadt Twitter   / nickvanexit   📲 Nick Angstadt TikTok   / nickvanexit   📲 Nick Angstadt Instagram   / nickvanexit   📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Indeed Listeners of this show get a $75 Sponsored Job Credit to help give your job the premium placement it deserves at http://Indeed.com/podcast.
