It's going to take some time to gel and winning will help everyone. Coop and the other youngsters will gain confidence in their level of play while the vets will find themselves committed to something to be proud of in the future.
That said, while I don't think you can tank another year away while Coop's on his rookie deal, the future MBT needs to avoid betting the farm on another KP-like trade just because Coop has so much potential.
That's inevitable because the Mavs don't have the assets for mutiple big moves. As of now they don't even have enoug picks for a KP-like trade. No room for error. They need to nail every single move to turn things around within the next two years and even that might not be enough. The whole reason why I am so adamant about asset accumulation. Don't go with the super risky approach again. Accept that it takes more than one year to rebuild.
