Guys, I agree - the Mavs are in a bad, bad spot. I'm not arguing that at all.
I'm just saying that I view the DFS/Brunson situations as a chance to see whether or not the new MBT even understand how bad the situation is.
That's what I mean by "good outcome." It's not that I expect them to miraculously whip together a contender with these ingredients in a few easy steps. The last chance for that was this past summer, and as we've talked to death, things will get much harder now.
I just want to see that they understand who the good players are and try to remove the others. That's all I'm saying. I'm not even hoping they can KEEP the good ones, necessarily. I get that those are the ones other teams will want, and therefore the ones who might need to be sacrificed in order to climb out of this hole. I just hope this front office has the ability to move the bad ones effectively enough to make moving the good ones MATTER.
