Special contributor Newy Scruggs recently held a chat to talk all things D-FW sports. Here are some highlights:

Question: Would the Mavs stand any chance in a series with the Warriors? They beat them once already and hung tight for a while this weekend.

Scruggs: They have two chances: slim and none. The best team wins in a seven game series. Golden State is the best team in the NBA. With Chandler Parsons out the rest of the year it will be a challenge to just make the playoffs.

Question: So Chandler Parsons is likely done for the season ... What does this mean for the Mavs -- this season and going into the offseason?

Scruggs: The Mavericks will have to fight hard make it into the playoffs. It wouldn't break my heart of Chandler Parsons opted out of his deal with Dallas and tested the free agent market. He is making twice what Dirk Nowitzki is making and he's not been the player many expected him to be when he came over from Houston.

Question: Do you think the Mavs will show interest in Hassan Whiteside this summer?

Scruggs: The Mavericks need to call him, LeBron and any other player with some talent to make sure Dirk Nowitzki ends his career right and not like Kobe Bryant.
