2020-2021 MAVS NEWS: Archived

I see those things as inseparable, linked events. 

I've been more ok with it recently, now that we're at the beginning of something, but back then, at the end of something, I just wanted that 2011 team (maybe with some minor tweaks) to have the chance to defend their title. I felt (and still feel) morally entitled to that, even though that's ridiculous. Tyson Chandler was SOOOOO freaking special for the Mavs back then. He and Barea were the two youngest contributors. It really took some of my Mavs soul, and I'm still trying to build it back up. 

It's all in the past though. Hopefully, the future will be better.

One things for sure. I would’ve much preferred to just bring the title team back than come up empty-handed hunting for stars every year. I just thought there existed a middle ground between bringing back the band and landing Sammy superstar. But who knows. If we had done it any differently maybe we wouldn’t have lucked into Luka.
