Also, not sure many people, if anyone, is saying we are one player away from playoffs, especially if that one player is a rookie.
Pretty sure everyone knows this is a rebuild. However, given the current landscape and probable pieces returning, plus FA signings (read, plural - not banking on big fish), and this team is right there competing for seeding, albeit more for the 8th seed.
The Utah team you reference is in the same exact place as the Mavs.
