The problem, though, is Dallas is both bad and old.

- 8 out of 15 players on this roster are under 26 years old... Our average age -- including Old Man Dirk -- is just 27.9 years old (for comparison, the youngest team in the league, the Sixers, have an average age of 24.6 years old).
- 5 out of the 7 veteran players are under contract for just 1 season (including team options), and most of them haven't played much this season.
- 1 of the 2 veteran players under contract for longer than 1 season is Barea, who is playing very well at the moment. The other is Wes, whose struggles stem more from a catastrophic injury than from age.
Conclusion: Sherrod Blakely doesn't know what the f*ck he's taking about... Which is par for course whenever East Coast journalists take a stab at our Mavericks.
