Since the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat in 06' the Mavs haven't really been the same. The Mavs have suffered disappointing playoffs losses and have yet to win a championship despite owner Mark Cuban's best efforts.
The Mavs have fallen back the last couple seasons - they were once the frontrunner in the West but now have become an average team. It wasn't too long ago they were going deep into the playoffs.
The Mavs finished 3rd in the Southwest division in 08'-09' with a record of 50-32. The Mavs were top 10 in scoring in the NBA averaging 102 points per game.
The Mavs plays in a very tough Western Conference with the Los Angeles Lakers, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, the improving Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, and Houston Rockets. In the 08-09' there were 6 teams in the West with more then 50 wins - this upcoming season should be no different.
Most notably, Shawn Marion's addition to the team will give the Mavs a defensive toughness that the team desperately needs. Shawn Marion will reunite with former teammate Jason Kidd (they played together in Phoenix with the Suns), and his all around versatility will be invaluable to the team. If Marion can contribute like he did in Phoenix, this move will payoff big for Cuban.
Mark Cuban can't suit up and play any games for the Mavs - what he can do is write big checks and bring quality players to the team.
Shawn Marion has been on a few teams as of late but hopefully he can find success on the Mavs. Marion is a very good player who should give the Mavs another scoring threat. This will help open things up for Dirk.
The Mavs have won 50 or more games every season since the 00'-01' season which shows great consistency. Dirk Nowitzki isn't getting any younger and he might only have 2-3 more seasons where is he an elite player with an opportunity for a championship. The Mavs would like to get another shot at the NBA Finals - and this time finish their opponents.
