RE:ESPN Insider: Chad Ford's take on the Mavs
I think it's a understandable to be concerned about the players who've been on losing teams. On the other hand, it could be a big motivating factor.
What I don't understand is the concern about Terry and Harris stepping into "Nellie's complicated offense." Someone please tell me if I missed the memo that said Don Nelson sticks to one rigid system regardless of the skills of his players. The last time I checked, it was the exact opposite...to a fault.
There's also a quote in one of the training camp articles about changing the system, and needing two good passers on the court.
For all Nelson's faults, the last thing anyone should be worrying about is that he will plug in a new player without adapting.
