I have been a loyal bill simmons fan. I still really enjoy his podcasts and listen to all of them. It is funny the shift he has had with the Mavs and Luka. I get most of it. Bob V was horrible. Cuban too. Brunson mess is well documented.
I am a week behind but on that podcast they gave their rankings of west teams they would like to be in 7 years. Bill had Dallas 7th. Right in front of Utah. He had Minny, San Antonio, Houston and New Orleans all in front of them.
I was in disbelief. Dallas still needs to grow their team and are not done yet, but I just feel like this Dallas team is hiding in plain site. They are starting to get press, but still.
Their rationale is Dallas doesn’t have much room to approve because they are on losing side of pick switches (are we sure?) and they don’t have a lot of growth potential with guys with upside unless Lively becomes great. I just don’t agree. Next year we may see even more youth with Jaden and OMax. We will have 2-3 players just over 30. The rest are in the mid 20’s.
Maybe it is the bob V stuff. I am sure he heard his take on things and it was a mess. But let’s not forget Bob V was just a big of a mess.
Keep ignoring the Mavs. Fine by me.
