I think this team is better than it has shown, but they question is then what? Even if healthy, are they really a contender? Even if the answer is yes, then for how long?
Even if they are good, do we really think a playoff series against the Lakers would be beneficial to the Mavs? I think the smart play is to fire Nico (at some point this year) and lay all the blame on him. Just with that you get some goodwilll. Even if most of us really dislike the new ownership group, they can get some goodwill. Then instead of trying to do a bandaid quick fix, start your build around Flagg over the next few years.
Yes, it sucks and no easy, quick rebuild. Just imagine how dire it would be now without a Flagg.
