I am unswayed. I think the Boston model from last season (playing style wise, if not salary structure wise) is still much closer to what I'd prefer as a direction.

But are there any teams even remotely close to emulating such a model? Boston arguably had 5 all-star caliber players in their starting lineup. That's almost impossible to just create.

Right now looking out at the NBA landscape, there are a lot of teams with a lot of size. Mavs need to match that size. And they are one of the few teams uniquely made to dominate with size. 

I think only Houston, Spurs, and Denver can match their size right now.
