Cuban wants a deal

[magnifier661]

Huh?

There is no public statement that Aldridge said he wants a 7 footer to play center. Maybe I'm wrong?

Serves me right for not reading the entire thread.

I thought the Rube made it up too, until I read the above transcript. Even then, all he did was agree that, yeah, it would be great to have a (D-Howard, Shaq, etc.) playing center. Duh.
It's not like he went to Olshey with some demand for a 7-footer, which is how I think it's been made to appear.

It's pretty clear that if Aldridge is in the teams long term plans then so is a real center

A young promising, possibly available, SG?

Marshon Brooks, anyone?

He's a better Barton. I'd probably give up half our bench for him. Another guy buried on DAL's bench is Dahntay Jones. Good defender and can shoot somewhat (used to, anyway). You build your bench with glue guys like that.

Two questions

1. When did Haynes say that?

2. What does OJ Mayo and young promising SG have to do with each other?

Haynes said this on talkin ball last week. Someone like Jeremy Lamb or Torrence Rose type player.

Price, Sasha, and Jeffries all fall into that glue guy/good intangible bench player role. Big issue is when our bench is in, none of them should or could be scoring for us, and we suck. I don't want to build my bench with more of that.

I suppose you're right. We don't really need all of the bench to be scorers. Just one or two guys who can go for 10+ on any night should be good enough.

I'm kinda surprised at how little Jones scored. For some reason, I remember him being a double digit scorer in his career. NVM

What exactly is half of nothing?

I think Portland is going to make a run at Pekovic, and another team will probably offer Hickson more than we're willing to pay for a backup PF. If we could get a few bench players for Hickson, and have enough left over to make a run at Pekovic, that would be a good move.
