The Mavs have lost every preaseason game by double digits - Ben Simmons bound?

[StephHamann]

Convince me one team will have a worse record than the Mavs.

Playing in the stacked Southwest-Division will be an epic boost for their tank mission, Philly plays against shit teams like the Knicks 4x they will eventually win some games by default.

dont worry bruh, Deron has not played a single game yet.
he will help his team to get some wins.

Draft's a crapshoot, bruh. The worst team almost never gets the #1 pick.

dirks impact is next to none.

dirks impact is next to none.

This actually might be the only accurate thing you've ever said about Dirk.

Dirk is a slightly above average player at this point. I think he is still a net positive, but it's very close to a net even impact at this point.

What Cuban and Nellie have done with this team is absurd...and if you actually look at their history since around the 03 season...it's been one team building error after another.

Hilarious how bad Cuban has been and yet he walks into every room like he knows something nobody else does. When in truth he's the only one that doesn't know he really hasn't done a good job building this franchise around Dirk since 03...he's just spent a lot of money to cover up the many many many mistakes.

Just glad my boy Parsons got paid.

[brain drain]

I agree.

Cuban / Donnie Nelson mostly made really stupid decisions:
- giving an already slightly past his prime Finley that contract
- letting Nash go,
- Dampier,
- Avery as head coach,
- being the only man who "really understood the new CBA"
- blowing up the championship team
- going for one superstar free agency pipe dream after another
- giving that contract to Chandler Parsons
- trading for Rondo

Most of that was covered over by having Dirk and stumbling onto the occasional gem (like Tyson Chandler in the championship season).

But they've been really bad at drafting for a long time, and I'm really curious about how they will do in the post-Dirk area.

Frankly, since Cuban probably won't be able to keep his "smartest man in the room"-brain out of the GM business, probably the only hope for the Mavs is that Cuban will get tired of losing quickly and is going to sell in a few seasons.

[R.I.P.]

Nah they won

[Levity]

there's not many teams that will be worse than them, but theres more than 1
