So, the 2007-2008 Dallas Mavericks season didn’t turn out the way they had anticipated it to. After a disappointing regular season record of 51-31 and an even more disappointing postseason appearance, everyone is left wondering what comes next.
Even more so since Head Coach Avery Johnson was fired on Wednesday after a first-round playoff loss to the New Orleans Hornets.
Left without a head coach and with eight players from the 15-player roster potentially being free agents, it should be interesting to see what the offseason holds for the Dallas Mavericks.

First on the agenda: hiring a new head coach with a vision to utilize each player’s strengths and open up the offense while still having a strong defense. Dallas needs a coach who will work with individual players and then combine talent with teamwork to create a hardworking, strong team.
Even Dallas’ strongest players feel that a change is needed, and that change could be in the form of trades. The future of many Mavericks players remains unclear, especially with free agents, a factor that leaves the Mavs even more lost.
The Mavs are at a point right now where changes definitely need to be made. The extent of the changes is uncertain, but for right now, they need a new head coach. Then they can face the rest of the team and make the changes to create a new, better, and stronger Dallas Mavericks for the 2008-2009 season.
Mark Cuban and the rest of the Dallas staff has a long summer ahead.

I wish Cuban would chill out and let the team focus on basketball. He needs to stop acting like a five year old and act like a millionaire and an adult.

i agree for the most part...but i never realized that 51-31 was a "disappointing season", i guess i'm one of very few people who remember when the mavs weren't half that good less than a decade ago.

Don't understand why Dallas has faded so much in the last two years. It's like the loss to Miami in the 2006 NBA Finals caused a hangover that's still in effect.
Dirk Nowitzki is a great player, but he's only one guy. He needs help from his teammates.
The Jason Kidd trade looks like a bonehead move so far. They gave up a lot of high draft picks to get him.
