Mark Cuban tweeted out this new Mavericks ad on Friday... and it’s pretty good. So we’re passing it along.

And no, I don’t think he’s done. I expect a bounce back season for Nowitzki, who showed he still was an elite scorer in this league last season when he finally got healthy. If Monta Ellis can just give up the rock a little more than he seems comfortable doing, if Samuel Dalembert can be healthy for more than 60 games, if Jose Calderon can be Jose Calderon, I think this is the eight seed in the West. I think Nowitzki can lead Dallas back to the playoffs.

That’s as far as the story goes, but with this roster making the playoffs would speak to how well Nowitzki is playing.
