Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5097970, member: 1969"] I see 2 factors here: 1) Depends on the continued maturity of Kyrie. 2) They really upgraded their frontline from 22/23, with 4 new players who are 26 or under, and that was a big factor for the jump in record -- and probably in sustaining their success moving forward. Not sure if they will be able to keep them all contractually. Acquiring PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford, Derrick Jones, and drafting Derek Lively were major upgrades over what they had. Dallas hasn't always been known in recent years for great roster management, but they did a good job this year. Last year they played Christian Wood (26 minutes) and Dwight Powell (20 miniutes), and played a lot of smaller lineups at the 3/4. [/QUOTE]
