The Dallas Mavericks are heading for the lottery. Dirk Nowitzki has been their franchise player, but it's time to start thinking about getting him to pack his bags and kickstart the rebuilding process.
The Dallas Mavericks lost again on Wednesday night. They are now 6-19, tied for the NBA's worst record, and while Mark Cuban has said he does not want to tank, it's time to reconsider.
Any sort of white flag might be unacceptable for the hyper-competitive Cuban, but it's in the best interest of the franchise. After another bad loss at home where they held a lead heading into the fourth quarter, it's time to start thinking for the long-term.
