ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[KillerLeft]

I think they have both regressed

I don't, I just think the entire team had an awkward, slow start. This is what "suddenly bad players" meant, btw. You don't walk off the court after the WCF and then "regress" over the remainder of that summer. That's not how it works. So, when you say that, I hear it the way I said it. Because that's the meaning of what you're saying, imo. 

And, while I certainly think 2-3 years down the road will be a super important time for obvious reasons, and I in no way want the team to mortgage themselves before then, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that this year, next year or the year after can't be GREAT.
