The Mavs are getting pounded by teams with bigger frontcourts.
They need help.
You can beat tall teams when they streak shooters get hot. But efficient scoring would come and go from game to game for these streak shooters.
You can't always outscore teams who can and will score from the inside every night.
DFS provides some of those lacking on the Mavs. More heft and physicality than DJJ, more speed and height than GW.
Would prefer a bigger player, but DFS is the better option playing small ball C than what the Mavs currently have (Kidd wouldn't play Holmes consistently, GW shouldn't play at 5 at all, Maxi is always out, and DP is DP). Mavs almost have nothing behind DLive. If you don't have a true backup C, you better have bigger rebounding wings.
