I want to put the Western Conference on notice - the Dallas Mavericks, coached under HOF Jason Kidd, are a different team with new additions of Washington, Lively, and Gafford. Watch out for them in the playoffs!
“Watch out for them in the playoffs”: NBA legend Magic Johnson warns other teams of Dallas Mavericks

Former NBA Magic Johnson has warned the other teams in the Western Conference of Dallas Mavericks due to Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
The side currently sits in the seventh position in the table with 39 wins and 29 defeats, just slightly behind sixth-placed Sacramento Kings who have also won 39 times and suffered 28 defeats this season.
In their most recent encounter, the Mavericks defeated the in-form Denver Nuggets with a score of 107-105 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Sunday.
Johnson, who is a five-time NBA champion, in a post on his official account on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter — has warned other teams in the Western Conference about the Mavericks side which is coached by Jason Kidd.
"I want to put the Western Conference on notice - the Dallas Mavericks, coached under HOF Jason Kidd, are a different team with new additions of Washington, Lively, and Gafford. Watch out for them in the playoffs!” he wrote.
The Mavericks will now have some easy fixtures where they are expected to register a win. Their next match is up against the bottom-of-the-table San Antonio Spurs whereas afterwards, they will face the struggling Utah Jazz side in back-to-back fixtures.
After that, they have a couple of fixtures against the Kings and the winner of those matches might decide who will finish in the top six in the Western Conference.
