If Harrison Barnes becomes an All-Star this season, something will have went wrong with Dennis Smith Jr.

Eddie Sefko, Mavericks beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the team during a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:

Can Harrison Barnes become an All-Star this year?

Sefko: If he does, then something has gone wrong in the Dennis Smith Jr. laboratory. The Mavericks love Barnes and expect him to be better than last year. But he was a good scorer on a bad team. So with wins comes more recognition when it comes to all-star appearances and things like that. I believe the Mavericks want a balanced attack with Barnes, Smith and Nowitzki all providing punch.
