Sefko: Mavs need more of selfless hustle that Bernard James can provide

V ... The next Mavs superstar will be either in free agency or through the draft?

Eddie Sefko: Free agency. They won't be in the lottery to snap up a superstar rookie. All the money they are saving has to pay off sooner or later. They better hope it's sooner.

Mkuhn325 ... Any chance of an uptick in minutes for Sarge? He's been one of the more aggressive defenders in the paint the little bit we've seen him play.

Eddie Sefko: I've been advocating that. Gotta find out if the rookie is for real. Anybody see that shot he had to toss up at the shot-clock buzzer last night? He knew it wasn't going in, but he rumbled into the paint, knocked a few bodies over and grabbed the offensive rebound for a putback. The Mavericks need more of that sort of selfless hustle.

V ... what is Cuban's plan here now? Tank and get a lottery pick? Because he isn't fooling anyone with this product he has put on the floor.

Eddie Sefko: He'll never tank. Except for Shark Tank. It's not in his DNA unless it's an absolute last resort with no other viable solution. And remember, this product isn't the one you'll see a month from now.
