I'd be pretty surprised if, after the Mavs pick up another big body or two, we aren't in the thick of the playoff hunt, barring any major injury issues. I think Dirk and a bunch of average to below-average guys would still be competitive almost every night. If we added Gortat or especially Asik, I think we could finish as high as 4th or 5th this year without adding much more.
But we're clearly still at least one really big piece away from being much more than a 7th or 8th seed.
