The Dallas Mavericks have almost completely remade their roster since winning the 2011 NBA Finals.

This season, the Mavericks have eight new players.

"We have 31 days of training camp and then we're at the Lakers on national TV," Rick Carlisle said. "That 31 days is going to go by very quickly.

"We're not going to try and reinvent these guys. We're going to try to put them together into our system to make this thing work in a big way."
