Now what?

I think the season could go either way, but I'm not really getting the negativity.

If we get the Wood from two seasons ago that averaged 21 ppg, then it's not only filling in for Brunson, it's exceeding it. How many bigs shoot 50% from the field whilst also shooting 39% from three? And if you can Schroder, then you are objectively better in almost every way than last year's team.

Funny because I really liked Brunson and loved his consistency, but he is officially being overrated now by too many fans.

Here's my less than optimistic view,,,another year of Luka's high usage will wear him down over the long run. (this year and career wise)

my biggest worry other than ballhandler is that it doesnt sound like Wood will be starting. Im hoping the staff realizes before the season starts. He's looking for one last big contract. I think he will ball out but theyve already told mcgee hes starting. It remains to be seen how that goes.

Wood not starting would be astoundingly stupid and won't work after 20 games anyway.

And Schroder is the literal key to keeping Luka fresh later in the season. Some don't think he would make a big impact, but he surely would if Luka or Spencer went down just like what Brunson did in the first round.

Yeah I was going with the now, if they picked up Dennis I would be more than satisfied regarding his usage and rest, and think they?re almost the same as previous year, maybe better.

Alas, Mavs won?t be getting Dennis. Ugh
