I doubt Brooks can be had, as Mavs can (best case) offer MLE tops, and Memphis would likely easily offer a bit more.
The Mavs would be wise to get a guy like this. Like you said, a dog. Historically, championship teams have had players that had that type of mentality.
The Mavs are very soft and other teams know that. The knew it with Dirk too. We had Desahwn Stevenson for our championship run and we see how that turned out. Tyson Chandler was also a guy who had dog in him and wasnt afraid to get in someone's face.
