You're the new owner of the Mavs. What would you do?

Heaping pile of dogshit? Am I the only one here who actually thinks the team is pretty good? I think were one quality 4 and a quality backup 4-5 away from being a serious title contender. Trade some of our guard depth and/or picks for those missing pieces.

This right here. Insane to look at this team versus last year and claim is at that bad...

Need better big depth, potentially a high-end starter at the 4. But I just want one quality big backup, anything else is a bonus.

Yes, exactly. Last year, for sure, the team was in absolute shambles. I was about to give up hope completely. But then they went and had a solid offseason and righted the ship. Lively in particular is so far ahead of schedule, it's astounding.

For anyone who's not paying attention, the Mavs currently the 3rd seed in the west, and only 2 games behind the 1 seed. They're 11-6, which is on pace to finish with 53 wins. Not a title contender, no, but hardly the dumpster fire you'd think if you were just going by this forum.
