Change is coming this summer, but the path to contention is narrow

The Mavericks just completed their most disappointing season since 2011-12. Nico Harrison knows it, Jason Kidd knows it, and Mark Cuban has admitted it as well. Cuban and Harrison have both taken credit for a poor outing this year, and Kidd mentioned in a press conference that a lot of people wouldn’t be back next year. Change is imminent, but what kind of change remains to be seen.

To be clear: the Mavericks are not in a good position to have a total reset, though they desperately need one. By resigning Kyrie Irving, which they have to do because they will be in even worse shape if they don’t, they will be nearly $30 million over the cap next season.
