Yep. I know there will be a lot of PT for the bottom 7-8 bench players plus 2-ways and camp signings. Main goal is to get to the opener with nobody hurt.
Some things I'm looking for are (in no particular order):
Does AD look like the dominant big man he's been in the past?
How is Dlive moving after foot surgery?
Where is Flagg playing initially? SG? SF? Point Forward?
How much freedom to create will Kidd give him?
How is PJW taking having to share minutes at PF/SF positions?
Does Williams still have it from last season? I liked his energy and fearlessness going into the paint.
Does Nembhard bring anything, or is it just wishful thinking because of his brother?
Does Christie re-emerge from whatever hole he fell into at the end of last season?
Can Martin do anything to justify the trade that brought him to DAL?
Can Exum string together more than 10 games without an injury?
Will Kidd ever trust Hardy again?
I know MLB season is ending (yea!) and NFL is just getting up to speed (yawn) but I'm ready for some Mav's activity.
