MAVERICKS 139, PELICANS 107

[cow]

I don't disagree with occasionally stepping back, but think that needed to happen before they ran out of any cap advantage for dumping him.  I'm struggling to see what long term purpose it would serve now.

As for contending, I'm not sure they could not have already put a quasi contender out there.  A Brogdon, FVV or Ball would have made a big difference.  Hell if they simply got Dragic a couple years ago instead of Delon, they probably don't make that disastrous JRich trade.  Who knows where this team goes last year with Dragic and Curry.

The past is spilt milk though.  I'd have loved a ton of moves but we didn't make them.  I'm just trying to think of how to move forward now.  I'd honestly blow it up and try to be bad for two years.  And I get that puts us in the pickle of needing to start drafting well, but I again look at that as a past we have no control over.
