"Although the Mavericks exceeded expectations in their trip to the Western Conference Finals, their lack of top-end talent was evident once they got there. Dallas was the only conference finalist without multiple players with past All-Star, All-NBA, or All-Defensive team selections on their résumé.
Meanwhile, Golden State and Boston, the last two teams standing, definitely look like the most well-balanced, compatible rosters with no glaring weak spots."
But both of these teams HAVE multiple players with "past All-Star, All-NBA, or All-Defensive team selections on their résumé." So it kinda says have a "well-balanced, compatible rosters with no glaring weak spots" BUT THE BEST TEAMS also have the Stars.
The way I interpret it is that true contenders need to have a well balanced roster that includes a superstar, at least one all-star/all defensive player, and multiple playoff starter and rotation guys. The Mavs are really missing that second piece, Luka's Robin. Maybe Brunson takes another leap and becomes that player, but right now the roster is top heavy (unbalanced) because it does not have another all star level piece on it.
