[KillerLeft]

Long-term, the future of the center position is finding a Maxi Kleber upgrade.

I mean, I can see where this is coming from, but I'm not sure I agree. 

Jaren Jackson, Bam Adabayo...maybe a few others would be upgrades, but aren't realistically available, like, for anything. Most of the other names I see mentioned here represent two steps backward in the areas of strength for Powell/Kleber (switching, moving their feet) just to move forward a bit in some areas we seem to think are weaknesses. I'm honestly not sure the Mavs even care about those things we're worried about too much, or that they should. 

At the end of the day, I'd rather have mobile guys than strong ones, since there seems to be a non-negotiable choice. This is becoming one of the best defenses in the game, and I keep seeing assumptions that this is developing in spite of Powell/Kleber rather than because of them. I don't see it that way at all.
