Trying to rationalize this, I think the Mavs are thinking they need Aldridge not as a center, but as a PF. Play him with Wood or Maxi and have him literally sit outside the paint at all times.
On defense, Wood and Maxi will take the wing, and Aldridge will take whatever slow footed center that sits in the paint.
They'd need to get rid of Frank to sign him which is odd given that they're desperate for perimeter D. Perhaps they're just doing due diligence.
