MAVS NEWS:

[michaeltex]

I have to say, that with all the crap going on in the non-NBA world, investing in the Mavs was a refuge from the daily new torrent. Despite my private frustrations, it was engaging to see how the team played together while waiting on Luka's calf to heal. Even the shock and anger of THE TRADE was a distraction since there was still a hope that things would get better with health. Then losing Gaff, then AD, then PJ while still waiting on updates for DLive just kept taking more and more effort to just find something to hope for. It had gotten to the point of anticipating a thin slice of the regular season and (hopefully) one or two PO series to see how the new team worked. But now Kyrie's ACL injury has taken even that away.

I don't really expect any pressure for our 3 bigs to return this season and PJ will probably finally sit until fully healed.

I am interested in seeing if any of the team, after whatever the draft and FA brings, tries to get together this summer and work on developing some chemistry to carry in to next season. I think everyone stays in the US over the summer so at least they are on the same continent for a change.
