I'm out on the 2023-24 season ....

Why over react to one game? First half officiating set the tone. Luka T'd up. Kyrie hurt. Exum is out.

Yes, missing Exum is huge. Josh Green is a rotation player but if Exum continues to play like he did over a month of 30 MPG, he makes this team much much better. His role is being way undersold. Josh Green is Payton Pritchard. Dante Exum can be Derrick White.

This team is one trade away from being super dangerous in the playoffs and it's obvous, we need a better F with length, athleticism, strong defense, and the ability to put up 20+ any given night to replace THJ's inefficient game. I personally think Wiggins can still play and he's available at a discount. No 2 option on a recent championship team.

Right now, we have 6-7 solid guys who can play if the playoffs started today. Luka, Ky, Exum, Lively ... with a bench of Green, Jones Jr, and Kleber (or a better 5-out center if we can find one). Everyone else should be on the block along with the 27 pick to to find that next guy. Nothing else really matters, especially a January loss to Boston.

I appreciate your optimism and I especially like the Dante Exum- Derrick White comparison.

However, Andrew Wiggins is done forever.  He had a single great playoff run but has been among the NBA's worst players this season.  Please keep him away from the Mavericks.
