It’s actually quite fascinating what has transpired to the Dallas Mavericks. After a season in which they surprised the masses by making an unexpected run to the playoffs, the Mavs currently have the NBA’s worst record through the first few weeks of the season.

Even though Harrison Barnes is averaging a nice 21 points and six rebounds per game, he hasn’t made that much of a difference – not the one you’d expect from a max player, at least.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the rest of this season shapes for the Mavs. Will they concede and move pieces in exchange for future assets? Or will Rick Carlisle spin his magic wand and find a way to turn it all around again?
