MAVS NEWS:

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Think the Mavs are at their peak when Kyrie comes back, topping out at around 6th in the West. Without him, what we saw this year, at about 10th. Barring a miracle, it doesn't get better, for a while, from here. Fire Nico, hire someone Great, not good, let that person overhaul the whole thing. Dumont has to fire Nico, today.

I don't even know if they can get to a 6th seed as currently constructed. A lot depends on how often AD can remain healthy, and what Kyrie looks like coming off a major surgery on the wrong side of 30. There are other teams in the West who will improve, and we can't get a read on just yet.
