CONTEST: Mavs Season Record Prediction

[KillerLeft]

Completely agree. I'm firmly on the side of adding more young talent to this team.

I think it'll be pretty clear early on that this is not a championship team. The West is too good, and the Suns, Nuggets, Lakers, etc have too much firepower. 

Build around this young core of Luka, Green, Hardy, Lively, O-Max.  Sell Kyrie, THJ, Kleber at the trade deadline or next off season. Grab another top ten pick while you're at it.

No reason to fight for those 9th and 10th seed play-ins. Because thats exactly what this team is. A 9th or 10th seed.

I think they’ll fight, but I think maybe the team’s view is closer to this than most realize. I think that’s why they’re shoehorning the rookies into the action so quickly. With the exception of re-signing Irving, which they basically had to do, every single other move they made this summer was the action of a rebuilding team.
