2003–04 Dallas Mavericks season
The 2003–04 NBA season was the Mavericks' 24th season in the NBA.[1] During the offseason, the Mavericks acquired Antawn Jamison from the Golden State Warriors, and Antoine Walker from the Boston Celtics. Although the team struggled with chemistry, the Mavericks finished third in the Midwest Division with a 52–30 record easily qualified for the playoffs. With the trio of Nowitzki-Finley-Nash and NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jamison, the Mavericks continued their reputation as the best offensive team in the NBA. Notable were two rookies, Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels, who made an immediate impact. However, the Mavericks were eliminated quickly four games to one in the playoffs, losing in the first round to their archrivals the Sacramento Kings. Following the season, Nash re-signed as a free agent with the Phoenix Suns, Walker was traded to the Atlanta Hawks, and Jamison was dealt to the Washington Wizards.
The Mavericks sported gray alternate uniforms for the season which only lasted one game.
