I dont think we can put the Mavs that high with Ky being out and our 54 million dollar man being Day to Day

He has a massive chip on his shoulder, I think he'll play at least 65 games.

DId something happen in the summer or do you mean that he was traded? If the latter, not sure I agree since he played all of one half before yet again missing a long stretch

The whole trade and fanbase response to it, he was used to be celebrated by the fanbase that got him (NOP and LAL) to being mourned and considered terrible return...
I wastched AD a lot with LAL, his 1st half against the Rockets is the best game I saw him play, he tried so hard, he injured himself.

The Western Conference is stacked. It takes a team developing from within to success. It's no longer relying heavily on few players and thinks it's over. It's not. In a conference like that, even OKC can't guarantee a repeat upcoming seasons. I kinda think Lively being able to play like Wemby, Chet and Jokic would be a huge leap for the whole team. Christie being able to play like that first couples of game since the trade is also huge. As physicality is the major tools for teams to win the tempo game, the team should strive for the goal. The big lineup haven't earned the respect from the whole league just yet. But in case it's done, this is a new revolutionary change in the basketball world.

I expect the Mavs to go small at times and change the pace. That's why Gafford and smaller combo guard Brandon Williams could play dividend. I also expect a breakout season from Klay as a Mavs.
