1.) Rush Dirk Nowitzki Back

The first thing I DON’T want the Mavs to do is rush Dirk Nowitzki back from his injury.

The season in Dallas is obviously not going as planned and a spot at the top of the draft is looking more likely, so why rush the long time veteran back to the court?

Now, I am not in the camp that thinks Dirk should just shut it down for the season because that would just be a disservice for Nowitzki. I simply want Dallas to ease him back like they are doing now.

Have the doctors give you a certain timeline and then add a game or two to that. When he does come back, make it strict minute restrictions and go from there. Basically what they have been doing all year.

This is one of the easier ones on my list as I think the organization will nail this one down regarding their legend. But with Cuban still preaching the message that they are shooting for the playoffs, I still wanted to get this one out there.
