CONTEST: Mavs Season Record Prediction

[Nowitzki Way]

Is that really the worst outcome possible.  I'd say no.  I think I'd rather be 8th than make the play-in as the 10th seed.

Completely agree. I'm firmly on the side of adding more young talent to this team.

I think it'll be pretty clear early on that this is not a championship team. The West is too good, and the Suns, Nuggets, Lakers, etc have too much firepower. 

Build around this young core of Luka, Green, Hardy, Lively, O-Max.  Sell Kyrie, THJ, Kleber at the trade deadline or next off season. Grab another top ten pick while you're at it.

No reason to fight for those 9th and 10th seed play-ins. Because thats exactly what this team is. A 9th or 10th seed.
