A Few Thoughts on Mavs 103, Celtics 109

[mavsluvr]

I think you're right on the head about Boban, which is why I found it a little puzzling when they decided to pay him and bring him in anyway.  

I think he could be used a little more effectively than Rick apparently does but then I also remember Salah Mejri famously saying "The only person that stop Salah Mejri is Rick Carlisle" after Mejri would finally get playing time and have a big game only get sat down again and blacked out for the next matchup.

I just thought it a little strange to bring Boban in knowing that Carlisle doesn't use the slower centers much.  He wants the Powell, Kleber and KP types.  
Now Woj is reporting the Mavs are looking for big body?

Iirc, that article was misleading, and Woj was speculating as to what the Mavs might be looking for, rather than reporting from a source. 


On Boban, the only thing I can think of is that Carlisle knew that he planned to use Boban only situationally when he was acquired.
