I have Mavs depression setting in. For some reason I spent most of my morning drive thinking about the Mavs and how they could improve and what their realistic paths were to contention via roster building.
It was a struggle.
Besides crossing my fingers and hoping they extended CWood, Hardy turned into Jordan Poole and Green turned into Keldon Johnson...I couldn't come up with much.
This is in large part due to the mess of a roster they've put together. It's also due to the fact that I couldn't even think of creative ways to hit reset because Cuban wouldn't do any of it. He won't take on money for picks/prospects. He won't admit any mistakes. He won't give up current production for future upside. He won't stay above the LT. He is the one thing worse than a cheap owner....he's a cheap owner that meddles.
Of course I will keep watching and hoping, but damn if I don't feel like this is a worse situation than I ever could have pictured after they walked off the floor vs the Warriors in the WCF.
