I know there are serious concerns about how this might fit together, but looking back on this point last year, there was so much more up in the air.

The Mavs will start training camp KNOWING who their starting 5 is, even if WE don't know yet who will start at center. I think that's an underrated angle here, considering how much it will help, early season

This 1000% 

Plus the entire playing roster from the playoffs is almost basically intact. Only major loss was DJJ. Dan made a great post highlighting that while DJJ fit well, he wasn't irreplaceable. I'm still a little skeptical. 

Despite that, there WILL be a continuity buff. I think a training camp with Luka/Kyrie/PJ/Lively(or Gafford) will only enhance their chemistry as a starting 5 and Klay will integrate seamlessly.
