So, it is August now and I'm enjoying popping in to read all the possible trade ideas on how this new MBT is going to salve the JB loss.
Thanks, and Let's Go Mavs...
They did indeed rebound nicely from Nash. Unfortunately, at that time, Cuban was willing to spare no expense and had an excellent GM. Now he's a skinflint, we have an inexperienced GM whose hands are tied by Cuban's constipation of the wallet and the desire to make a future big move, and we have the existential situation that they have done nothing in the past month to solve their two major roster holes.

Wood who we can’t be sure about is here. McGee is here also, but in a 15 minute per game role we know more comfortably about what we have. We still have obvious needs and open roster positions and nothing is happening. So all we can do is post hypothetical roster moves and lament Brunson leaving and the front office screw-up for allowing it to happen. Unfortunately the only way this will change is when our roster is full and we start playing games. Then, hopefully, we shouldn’t be losing sleep over the loss of Brunson; although we might have other things keeping us up! I don’’t know about the rest of you but I can’t wait for real NBA basketball to resume.
It's actually the season I'm dreading, if they don't make any more moves. Without Boban, Brunson, and hope, and with diminishing returns, the locker room could get ugly.
