MAVS NEWS:

[mvossman]

No, I get it.  I understand the task.  Getting the best player possible in the draft is job #1.  Thus losing as much as possible is fine.   

On the other hand, I spend a lot of time talking and watching Mavs.   It had hit already, but the realization of another year of watching and rooting for important games is down the drain.    Then turning on the game when Cooper is out and the team is filled with  older veterans.  Hardly anyone that i feel any connection with.   It is just depressing.  Who knows what will be going on a year from now, but just disappointing realizing another year of the last 30 games being games you are just rooting for losses.

The good news is that we wont have to worry about wanting to lose games for the foreseeable future.  I do share your frustration with the lack of interesting young players.  If there is one disappointment I have with the TDL its that they did not acquire anybody with a legit chance to contribute when this team is trying to contend.  I hope we make at least one flyer trade (like Dan described in the other thread) along with at least two guys from the draft.  That should mean more interesting players to watch even if they are not quite ready to compete next season.
