Nowitzki has no idea where he is right now, then good for NBA 2K18 MT him. They added Delonte West and Lamar Odom to the mix this offseason, but their biggest problem is in the middle, where they lost Tyson Chandler. I wrote last year that as amazing as Dirk was, Tyson Chandler was the guy who put them over the top. He pounded the boards on both ends, and most importantly, he's single-handedly kept the Mavs from getting murdered in the paint against Miami.
Now he's gone.Factor in the Cheap NBA 2K18 VC schedule taking its toll on aging team, guys like Shawn Marion and Jason Terry coming back to earth, and it's hard to see the Mavs finishing much higher than the 4-6 range in the regular season. But when the playoffs arrive, bet against Dirk at your own risk.5. L.A. Lakers: "Do You Like Phil Collins?"The Lakers are a mess. Trading Lamar Odom may have seemed like an afterthought in the wake of the Chris
Paul trade, but it essentially killed this team as we know it. Odom's greatest value was his ability to step in and spell guys like Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol when they were injured. Or, say, a guy like Kobe Bryant. On an aging, delicate roster, Odom was the spare wheel that kept things running smoothly whenever someone got a flat tire.Now that wheel's gone, and unless they swing a trade for Dwight Howard, it's hard to imagine them contending this season.
I think that'll happen around the trade deadline, which is why they're fifth here. But it'd be more fun if it doesn't because Kobe Bryant is a lot more fun as a fringe weirdo fading into the sunset than as a contender we have to take seriously.One game I like play with Kobe involves watching American Psycho clips and pretending that Kobe is saying all the lines. It works better than you think.
