I don't really why that surprising. Ideally the Mavs should tank to add one more high lottery pick to the starting lineup. It won't happen though. I think their talent is good enough to get them anywhere between the 8th and 10th seeds.

^ With the Western Conference getting stacked in the last few days, we might even miss the playoffs again. I'm guessing Cuban will play his cards like last season. Let the dice roll and see where the team goes. We start tanking when we get booted out of the playoff race.

The West will be interesting this season...some teams have made moves to get better and some are going the other direction.
Clips and Jazz might take a step backwards but a team like the Wolves should be much better.
TBH, it's really tough to gauge what this team will be like this year but my guess is that we'll be in the PO race to the end.
