2006 & 2011 Mavs had 7+ Starters - DallasBasketball - 08-13-2021 2011 Mavs had 7+ starters Technical Starters - Dirk Kidd Marion Tyson Additional Starters Terry Haywood Barea Relative Starters (Were or would be starters in the L at some point) Stevenson Mahinmi Butler(injured) 2006 had 8 starters Technical Starters Dirk Dampier Howard Terry Additional Starters Stackhouse Harris Daniels Diop (was starter level at the time) FOR REFERENCE - 2022 Mavs have 6 Starters Technical Starters Luka Porzingis DFS Hardaway Jr Additional Starters Kleber Bullock Relative Starters (Still TBD) Brunson ——————- The point of this exercise is to show the importance of depth and how the current team stacks up with our best 2 rosters of all-time in that area. We are still behind but not TOO far off. RE: 2006 & 2011 Mavs had 7+ Starters - ItsGoTime - 08-13-2021 Nice work dude! I have to disagree with some placement of players though:

There is certainly a lot of variance in categorizing the players like this. If a player falls out of one bucket and into the next, I think that could be okay, as long as they are still worth mentioning on the total list. If they fall off the list altogether, then basically they are inconsequential and don’t add to the sum. RE: 2006 & 2011 Mavs had 7+ Starters - Roddyb3 - 08-13-2021 I like your thinking behind this. When I look at a championship team, I'm looking for 8 guys that can actually play in an 8 man playoff rotation. We inched closer with THJ, and now we inch a little closer with Bullock. I think we're 1 good role player or facilitator away from being a true championship caliber team. Once you get into the playoffs anything can happen. Luka, KP, THJ, Bullock can all provide something meaningful in the playoffs. DFS, Kleber, Brunson to a much lesser degree. Goran would be a great fit and would round out an 8 man rotation, but I'd like to see an improvement/replacement for DFS or Kleber. We also don't have an inside presence like a Brandan Wright, Tyson, etc. RE: 2006 & 2011 Mavs had 7+ Starters - DallasBasketball - 08-14-2021 (08-13-2021, 05:27 PM)Roddyb3 Wrote: Goran would be a great fit and would round out an 8 man rotation I know it’s an over-simplification that I’ve done with the exercise, but I think it’s the simplicity that makes it generally true. I agree adding Goran and an improved Brunson would put us at around that 7+ starter level. |
