As I watch the NBA Playoffs, I’ve been keeping one eye on the Mavericks’ off-season priorities and another on players and lineups that are doing well. The Mavericks definitely need to crawl before they can walk, in regards to just getting back to the playoffs, but nevertheless I keep looking at these playoff teams and project onto what the Mavericks need.
With the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference Finals, that means I’ve watched a lot of Seth Curry. You remember him! He was the deft signing in the summer of 2016, when the Mavericks plucked him after a standout April with the Sacramento Kings.
