Nowhereman, the Mavs are currently tied for 9th worst record in the league. Getting a 9th - 12th pick would be an improvement from where they are now, not tanking.
Tanking could get us a 5th or 6th pick. All you'd have to do is hold out Dirk for knee rehab.
A 6th pick in the draft is worth FAR more to the future of the franchise than competing for 9th seed in the west. That's a no-brainer unless you're completely opposed to tanking on principle.
