2021-2022 MAVS NEWS: 4th in West | WCF loss [ARCHIVED]

For me, the big story at the moment is how the team has bought in to Kidd's system and how well they're playing. My question is, how should that impact the TDL for the Mavs? I think their current trajectory for this season suggests that the Mavs should be careful not to disrupt the progress.

I think this team lacks talent and it would be a mistake thinking they are legit after a stretch of good games. I think lack of talent and flaws in roster construction will be exposed in playoffs. Offenses will be much more patiently attacking what will be determined as biggest weakness of our defense. Brunson, KP and Luka can all be liabilities. Defenses will focus much more on our strong points neglecting weaker links of the offense and I think limitations of Maxi and KP will be exposed on the offensive side. Teams can still afford to go small 5 out lineups that will hold their own on defense and punish us on the other end. 

So, they should be looking to improve the team. Of course there is no guarantee such a deal is there, but it would be nice to see Mavs to pull off something substantial after very bad three offseasons and two TDL.
