Mavs are who we thought they were. The way they handled being "defending champs" was disgraceful. Mark Cuban bought their 2011 Championship, and after his fire sale this offseason, they just seemed content with being one year wonders. They're back to being the Old Mavs. Dirk getting knocked off in the 1st round again. They're a team that wont be remembered like that long term.

The losses of Chandler and Barea were huge, and Kidd, Marion, Terry, etc. are all either old or getting up there in age. Dirk couldn't carry that team by himself. I didn't have much of an expectation for them to come close to repeating this year.

d-will will be there next season. possibly dwight too at some point. dallas had no shot at the title this year imo. the run they had last year was absolutely AMAZING and i knew they weren't going to be able to pull something like that off again.

btw, the "old mavs" would have never been the 7 seed in the west.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
