2000–01 Dallas Mavericks season

The 2000–01 NBA season was the Mavericks' 21st season in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired Christian Laettner from the Detroit Pistons, and Howard Eisley from the Utah Jazz. In their final season at the Reunion Arena, the Mavericks played above .500 for the entire season. At midseason, they traded Laettner along with Hubert Davis to the Washington Wizards for Juwan Howard while signing free agent Vernon Maxwell, who was released by the Philadelphia 76ers. Michael Finley was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game, which was his second and final All-Star selection. The Mavericks finished third in the Midwest Division with a 53–29 record, and made their first playoff appearance since the 1989–90 season, ending a ten-year playoff drought.
