I think it would be a mistake to trade away all our vets for a full batch of youngins. They need to learn how to play, but they also need to learn how to be professionals and Mavericks. Be more like the Spurs than the Magic.

You don't pass up trading an asset like Barnes just so he can provide stable veteran leadership... Be more like the Celtics than the Spurs. It's a new era.
Besides, we still have Dirk and Barea.
