Am I the only one who sees this year as some kind of "transition" year for the Mavs?
- Yes, the Mavs were in the WCF last year, but I think that every single one of us saw, that this team still has long ways to to go until they are real contenders. There still were some big holes/flaws that need to be fixed before this team can make the next step(and get the one ring to rule them all!)
Why am I mentioning the word transition year?
First of all, after the 2023 draft, the Mavs will have all the picks to trade, and the first real opportunity, after the KP trade, to add a real second star next to Luka. The dream here would be if the Mavs could somehow land a Shai, Brown, Ingram, Bam,...
I think that there are better teams in the west than the Mavs(Dubs and Clippers), yes we have Luka, but both those teams have star power and depth. Why not use this year as a development year for the young guys. Not only is it good that Green and Hardy get better with more playing time, but also their value goes up if they show some progress.
And yes we lost Brunson, but THJ is back, we got Wood and also the Great JaVale
The most important thing IMO is that we haven't lost any defense in the ofseason. We still have Reggie, God King, Maxi, Green/Frank, and also, McGee. Defense still is the most important thing when it come to building a team around Luka and we only got better on that side of the floor.
