Welp, I didn't say anything about Dwight in the game thread and no offense intended to anyone... but I have been driving the get rid of Dwight bus since year 2 of Luka in Dallas... and I'm not about to stop now! HAH!

Even as 3rd string Center he is useless. The most reliable outlet for when Luka or Kyrie go downhill is the lob threat. The Mavericks need a tag team of Lively and Gafford in an equal rotation to allow them to have the energy to do this all game long. When either Lively or Gafford misses games, the Mavericks need another similar lob threat who can actually protect the rim, rebound and is mobile enough to help on the perimeter, so that there is always a duo or tag team of such Centers to use in an equal rotation in the games. Seriously, I cannot believe it took the Mavs FO this long to figure it out... DJ, Boban, Powell, WCS, McGee, etc... blech!
Jericho Sims is my pick to replace Dwight with in the summer, because of his mobility and potential on defense. Once the Mavericks have him, I think you will be hard pressed to spot the difference between Gafford, Lively and Sims (GLS). I'm posting an old clip below because there aren't many new ones... but it shows off his mobility and ability to defend on the perimeter.
