Recently, Nowitzki said in an interview that the success of the Maverick's new season depends entirely on the health of the team.

Dirk said: "On the lineup, the Maverick has been very strong. In my opinion, everything depends on their health. When will Irving return? Can he return to 100 percent when he returns to the team? Can the Brows stay healthy? Also Lively has missed some games over the years."

"But if they can all stay healthy, the depth of the team would be terrifying. They have at least two players at every position who can participate in multiple offensive styles, and Flagg is versatile enough on the wing that Kidd has said before that he'd consider him at point guard until Irving comes back."

"I know the West is very tough to play against, but as long as the Mavericks can stay healthy, they will play a great season."
