I know it’s not totally forgotten, but we have kind of stopped talking about the thing I was most excited about coming into this year: the fact that the Mavericks have gotten much younger.
Call me crazy, but I really kind of want to see what the team looks like with Hardy and O-Max in the rotation, and I think their chance is coming faster than people realize. What if they get in the swing of things and this team can improve without giving anything up? What if the team is able to maintain some continuity for a few years and build up that stockpile of draft picks again?
I know it’s tempting to look for the “final piece” when the team is as close as we now understand it is, and I also know that the Kyrie Irving timeline is part of the equation, but I confess that I am really excited about the team being this young.
