Devin Harris has been the starting PG for some of the worst teams over the past 5 years. The New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz were some of the NBA's worst when he was their starting PG. He is mediocre and so is Felton. Stop trying to overrate their players. Monta had a good season last year and 4 terrible ones before that. Dirk will be 37 and has already stopped playing defense and rebounding. When is the last time Tyson Chandler had a healthy season? Does Dallas realize Parsons cannot create his own shot nor is he a marksman of screens or catch and shoot. Dallas will be lucky to make the playoffs. Coaching does not matter that much in basketball and is overrated. Pop is the only coach that moves the needle forward. Everyone else is not winning without a certain level of talent.

Right now I think Rox/Mavs are actually pretty even with Houston getting the slight nod. Unfortunately for the Mavs they are pretty much stuck where they are and will be for the foreseeable future. Fortunately for the Rox we have the tools/assets to be in position to get markedly better and a FO that is laser focused on achieving the ultimate goal.
