| 0:00.0 | One more thing, the best and worst case for the Dallas Mavericks, swing on just a couple of things. |
| 0:07.1 | Welcome here, still locked out of the Dallas Maver. |
| 0:08.6 | It's your team every day. |
| 0:09.6 | My name is Nick Engstead, and I'm joined by the One More Think King himself, |
| 0:12.1 | and we're talking about the best and worst case scenario for the Dallas Mavericks this season. |
| 0:15.9 | If everything just stays the way that it is, let's say the maps go into the season with this roster. |
| 0:19.9 | We already talked earlier today about the guard situation, how I feel about that. |
| 0:23.5 | But let's start with the best case scenario because we asked for some questions on our text line and we got a bunch of them in. We answered a bunch of those questions earlier today. And one from Zach comes in and he says, what's a realistic quote, we had a good season goal for the Dallas Mavericks this year? Like what would be the end of this season to go, man, like the Mavs actually had a good season. And I think it would be if the Mavs like made the play in and like won the play in and like got into the playoffs as a seven or eight seed. And you're like, man, like we had a good season.

| 1:20.7 | SEBA would change everything. |
| 1:22.7 | Everything. |
| 1:25.0 | I'm with you. |
| 1:27.2 | I think the realistic expectation would be first round of the playoffs. |
| 1:28.1 | And I think, hey, if you make it? |
| 1:33.1 | Well, I'm sorry. |
| 1:36.9 | The like ceiling, this was like a good, good season of, hey, you made the first round of the playoffs type of thing. |
| 1:38.1 | You got some playoff experience. |
| 1:44.8 | You don't have your draft pick, |
