Perkins: I look forward to the Mavericks most at the beginning of the new season. Irving is not there and will play with a sense of mission.

Today, commentator Perkins said when doing a show on ESPN that the team he is most looking forward to in the early stage of the new season is the Mavericks.

"I want to say a team we don't talk about enough, we know they got the No. 1 pick. I chose the Dallas Mavericks. There is a player we hardly mentioned in the offseason, and he is now in the Mavericks - his name is Anthony Davis, and we forgot about him. This is a top five big man in the league, who may average 30 points and 11 rebounds in the first 20 games of the season. By the way, the Mavericks traded Luca for Anthony Davis because he has both offense and defense. Without Irving, I think Anthony Davis will play with a sense of mission. I would love to see what he will do when he returns to Los Angeles." Perkins said.
