It´s good that Carlisle is gone, because the talent level on this team for the last decade has been trash, and the combination of Carlisle + Dirk or Luka always guaranteed the Mavs a 1st round exit ceiling, light years away from actually contending. In reality the work done by the front office led by Cuban and Nelson deserved 10 years of actually missing the play-offs. They were easily a bottom five front office for a decade.
It´s not some bad trade, bad draft or a bad free agency decision either. It´s the whole structure and direction of the franchise given out by the owner. It just stinks.
Carlisle being gone finally exposes these flaws. Carlisle wasn´t flawless himself, far from it, but he was very good.
Of course if they are healthy they are a good team. LeVert, Sabonis, Warren, Turner, Brogdon. Good talent.

Solid players but I am not sure how many of them will be with the team in 3 years. They have a feeling of a best case a team that gets to the second round as their high point and a team that gets stuck in no mans land as a solid early playoff exit team.
