“It is where we are in the transition going from a perennial 50 win team. At some point you have to reload,” assistant coach Melvin Hunt said as we set down to talk about this current Mavericks team.
For 11 straight years, the Dallas Mavericks won at least 50 wins.
Let that sink in. From the 2000-01 season to the 2010-11 season the Mavericks won at least 50 games with three of those seasons being over 60 wins.
For a decade, fans in Dallas were spoiled as their favorite team had Dirk Nowitzki at the helm and trips to the playoffs were an every year thing.
