Bamba seems too uncoordinated to last in the league and while I like WCJr, I don't think he'd slide in so easily here.
Sure we're 8th, but 2.5 games back from 5th and only 4gb from 4th. Very real argument that if the Mavs weren't ravaged by COVID they'd be sitting a lot higher in the standings, even with the issues they've had so far.
Further, we can also say if we didn't have Boban keeping things lighthearted and the team together, the Mavs could be a lot worse off and might even be 12th/13th.
I think Boban has literally no effect on the Mavs standings in any sort of material way even tho I like him as a player and person.
