That being said we may make some moves tonight or sign some key players in the off-season. I don't see how anyone can think this team is a lock for anything until we see the final product. I think before the season starts, the team will look like a top 5/6 team. Just not there yet imo.(11-18-2020, 04:49 AM)SleepingHero Wrote: Lakers/GSW/Denver/Clips are all locks. I think the Mavs can be a top 5 seed for sure now that OKC has taken a step back and HOU is on the verge of imploding.
Without improving, I don't think that is realistic thinking, especially with KP missing significant number of games. Phoenix and Portland are considerably better than they were last season, especially taking account their key players were missing huge numbers of games. Utah was better than Mavs last season and are probably running it again with the same team.
