What to be said that hasn’t already been said for this week’s MPRW? The team is in a bizarre purgatory to close the season, losing enough to barely be in a playoff play-in conversation but winning just enough that they’re running out all groundballs.
It’s likely the better path for the future involves the Mavericks holding on to their pick in this summer’s draft, but it would require them falling inside the first ten picks of the lottery. With other teams opting to do the same, the Mavericks would really need to lose. So it’s no surprise that the limbo continues with just a handful of games left.
