MAVS NEWS: Luka Wins Community Cares Award! | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

One of my pet peeves is when I hear that this is a series between two teams that went all in.  I just don’t disagree.  Mavs have been aggressive and have used valuable draft assets.  I also think SA and OKC made solid bets that in a tough west moving forward that they place a bet Dallas has a season from hell or Luka leaves down the road.  I have no problem with those bets.  Although neither pick switch may not turn into anything and regardless Dallas still has a first in those drafts.

Second, Dallas star is 25.  Their other star is almost 32.  Around them most of Dallas rest of their core players are 26 and under.  So they can have internal growth and also flexibility in trades if need be.

I just think the narrative is wrong that Dallas went all in with this roster.  Sure they are not in a position like OKc but Dallas still has the opportunity to upgrade their roster if they wish.

I suppose then "all-in" narrative depends on perspective. Compared to a team like OKC, the Mavs are 100% all in and don't really have the same amount of flexibility.

But compared to PHX? GSW? Heck even DEN? The Mavs have the ability to trade more FRP than all of those teams this summer. 

Doesn't mean they should, but like you said the Mavs are relatively young and they still have moves to spare. Kudos for calling out BSPN
