At the beginning of the season, the general team shuffled, and in the middle of the season, I said goodbye to KP. After this series of operations, the entire team has undergone significant changes in essence, both in terms of play style and lounge atmosphere. Exactly qualitative change, whether it can be realized depends on how far the Dallas Mavericks<\/a><\/strong> can go in the playoffs this year…<\/p>\n\n

Before the season, Donnie Nelson, who had worked for nearly 25 years, stepped down as the team general manager, and the champion coach Rick Carlisle, who had coached for 13 seasons, voluntarily resigned, and was replaced by a rookie GM (former Nike North America Sports Marketing Vice President) Nico Harrison, past Coach Jason Kidd, whose winning percentage is less than 50%, and a new coaching team such as Sean Sweeney, Igor Kokoskov, Jared Dudley, etc.<\/p>\n\n

In the middle of the season, Nico Harrison and owner Mark Cuban made a shocking move to sell the team’s second-rounder Kristaps Porzingis (at least from an annual salary perspective) and a second-round pick to Washington in exchange for a rest. Venomous tumor Spencer Dinwiddie and premium shooter Davis Bertans are two well-received bad deals at the top of the league.<\/p>\n\n

From a personal point of view, Jason Kidd can turn in such a report card in his first year with the team, and I think he definitely deserves to be considered for the Head Coach of the Year candidate. With little change in the main lineup, he has essentially improved the Mavs’ long-standing defensive problems The data is presented in the table, please refer to it a little.<\/p>\n\n

The more surprising part is that the Mavericks have gone 20-7 since the trade deadline, beating the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Mills The Waki \u200b\u200bBucks and other playoff powerhouses. I asked, who would have guessed at the time that this extremely negative trading operation could bring such unexpected benefits to the team? All I can say is, don’t underestimate Nico Harrison, the manager’s eye for material selection is really unbelievable.<\/p>\n\n
