Strangely there are some on this board who think he is worth two or three 1sts. Which is completely unfathomable to me. *shrug*
I hope he is a distressed asset and can be had cheaply. I think he would solve a lot of the Mavs' roster issues if we could get him for salary matching and possibly a single pick. The issue I am most wary about is his back. If his medical situation is bad, I wouldn't mess with him. But on this roster, he would be amazing and solve our need for defensive presence and playmaking, while also adding another strong rebounder. I can't imagine he would be crazy expensive, and that is how I like 'em. We can't afford full price on a star. I think a change of scenery with a winning club who want him and will appreciate him, along with a coach who has a ton of similarities to him as a player whom he would respect is exactly what this dude needs. And we could certainly use what he brings. Triple check that back though.
