Since he is joining the Mavs for training camp, he could end up with their G League team (Texas Legends) if he doesn't make the roster.

As for the Mavs, they are coming off a disappointing season where they were the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 38-44 record.  

After making the Western Conference Finals in 2022, they were unable to return to the NBA playoffs. 

That said, the Mavs have a very talented roster that is led by superstars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.
