A bigger upgrade to do what? Win the title? Yea, the Mavs need another superstar and a rim protector. Sadly, those types of players are not freely available, especially if you don't have the assets to get them. If you trade Calderon and/or Ellis, who do you plan to get back in return?

So realistically speaking, if Harris can come in and play well, that could potentially be the difference between not making the playoffs and getting a 5th or 6th seed.

If they make the playoffs, who knows what could happen with injuries and whatnot. Also, it's a lot easier to attract free agents when you're a playoff team.

of course but it's not my fault if we have destroyed a championship team for what??nothing...

and i think that sign a 32yo PG with no defence for 4years at 28M is the right way to rebuild

For a playoff team? It's not like the Mavs are Milwaukee, Orlando, Sacramento, the Lakers, etc.

If rebuilding means still making the playoffs and winning most nights, I would probably take that.

2012--->8th seed and sweeped by the okc
2013--->out of PO
2014--->we are 8th(spurs,okc,blazers,clips,rox and warriors are really better than us)

and our core is very old...i'm glad that you are happy for this situation.

Every franchise has to endure some rough patches...our rough patches equate to being in contention for the playoffs. In the 90's, I would've killed for the Mavs to be this good.

There are over 20 teams that wish they had as many wins as the Mavs right now.
