I know Dirk played some SF early in his career but do you think he has the ability to play the SF position through an entire NBA season. I would really like to keep him at PF but their are not many really good SF left and there are a bunch of PF available. Do you think I should move Dirk. |
Depends on who you have around him. He can handle some playing time at the 3, but he should still get good minutes at the 4 too.
He plays the 3 on offense a lot, as he gets the ball up around the perimeter on most sets, but defensively he plays in the post. However, like you said, early on in his career he did play the 3, and defensively he was able to alter a lot of jump shots due to his height. But he's older now, so he can and will get beat to the hoop by younger, smaller, and quicker 3s.

So what does Brandan Wright need to do more this offseason?
1.) Bulk Up
2.) Add More Range to His Game

I agree. I want him to add 15 pounds of muscle this summer. That way he can get to 225. That will help a bit.

That's still 60 less than Bynum...

Yeah, but Wright isn't a 7 footer, nor does he have the same frame as Bynum.
Adding more than 15 pounds of muscle in one summer is tough too. That was a bit of wishful thinking actually.

Delonte West wants to come back and intends to add a floater to his game. If we do bring him back, what do you think the right price would be?

Hey guys just got back from vacation, so if someone else already mentioned this sorry.
But What would every one think of Lou Williams, if we dont land DWill. I really think he could deveope into a good starting PG.
Then we could look at offering Hibbert a max deal (which I think he is worth with the lack of quality centers)
Then maybe try to get Gerald Wallace to be the 6th man to back up both Marion and Dirk. Add those guys and maybe Ross out of the draft and thats a solid roster to start with.

Yeah, I was thinking Lou Williams as well, but he will want at least $8 million a year. Not sure if we can manage to dish out that much and get the other two guys you mentioned.
That'd be nice fo sho tho.

If we can afford it sure, but I'd prefer Dragic myself.
I like the idea of giving Hibbert a max deal. Centers like him are hard to come by

Yeah, Dragic would be nice, but if we are going to give Hibbert a max deal and are successful in knabbing him away from the Pacers, I really hope we find a way to draft Marquis Teague. He will be a lot like his brother, perhaps even better.

So as of right now, who do you think we will realistically draft at #17?
If we were to move up, who would you like to draft? Provide the trade details too please, and remember, keep it realistic. I'd love Anthony Davis just as much as all of you, but we all know that's not gonna happen.

would you guys rather sign Deron Williams and have limited depth, or sign guys like KG, Nash, Grant Hill, and Stevenson so that we have a more balanced roster?
I personally like the 2nd route, especially if we can draft a guy like Terrence Ross or Meyeres Leonard.
I think we will score with our first round selection, but I really hope we can find a way to move up into the upper part of the 2nd round so we can get another young prospect that might be able to contribute for us in case we have depth issues (much like we would have if we signed Deron). Kevin Jones would be nice.
PG: Nash/Roddy B/DoJo
SG: Terrence Ross/Vince Carter
SF: Marion/Grant Hill
PF: Dirk/Kevin Jones
C: KG/Brandan Wright
Yeah, I'd take that over a team with Deron for the short-run, but in the long-run we would be pretty screwed if we dont draft premium talent. That squad is pretty freaking old.

The Mavs rotation last year contained 5 players on the MLE or less- West, Carter, Mahinmi, Beaubois, and Wright. I think this team can do a pretty good job of filling out their roster and doesn't need to burn considerable cash on anyone other than D-Will.
This isn't a one-year project, folks. You sign D-Will, roll with him, Dirk, Marion, cheap guys, and draft picks for a couple years, and go berserk in 2014 when Dirk and Marion come off the books. (Notable 2014 free agents other than Dirk and Marion: Lebron James (ETO), Dwyane Wade (ETO), Carmelo Anthony (ETO), Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Rudy Gay (PO), Danny Granger, Luol Deng, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh (ETO), Amare Stoudemire (ETO), Zach Randolph (PO), Andrea Bargnani (ETO), Andrew Bogut, Marcin Gortat)
You can get a good crew of role players pretty easily, provided your front office knows what its doing. You CANNOT get a 28 year old Top 15 player any offseason.

I think at 17 we can look at Myers Leonard, Terrence Ross, Marquis Teague, and Tony Wroten Jr realistically. Leonard is a long, athletic, and raw center. We can kind of mold him into whatever we want at this point. He is long and has a ton of upside. Ross is an athletic wing who can also shoot the ball well. Needs to take it inside more though. Teague plays a lot like his brother, but has more upside, and Wroten Jr is a lot like Tyreke Evans. Kind of a tweener, but can't really shoot the ball well.
I also think that there is an outside chance of landing one of Austin Rivers, Terrence Jones, or Jeremy Lamb. Rivers gives us the confident shooter that we may lose in JET. I think they are very similar players, with Rivers having a little more upside than JET ever had. Jones is a head case, but he can ball. Not sure we want to take a chance on him after the LO experience. And Lamb has all the talent in the world, but doesn't know it. He is freakishly long and can score from virtually anywhere on the court, but he is so damn passive. I expect that to change with experience, but it is a reason to worry.
I could also see a scenario in which we trade back for a guy like Fab Melo. Great defensive center, though his offense may never fully develop.
