It's an honest difference of perspective, I guess.

I think what what happened is that the Mavs were probably planning to ease Matthews back until later season and play the young guys early on. The hot start might have put a false sense of how good the team was, and suddenly the FO thinks we're a 55 win team. So they pushed the veterans hard and now we have Zaza hurt, Parsons knee surgery, and Deron Williams with 20 or more injuries over the course of the season.
