I watched this guy in playoffs, and I'd take him and his contract in a heartbeat. He was playing behind Giannis, so he was only averaging about 18-20 minutes a game. But for 7m a year and two years left on his contract, he solves a lot of issues. He's a versatile big man that can stretch the floor with perimeter shooting. He's a decent rebounder. He's really cheap and can come off the bench possibly allowing Dwight Powell to start if necessary. He's a veteran. And best of all, his contract comes off the books the same time as Hardaway... during a year when a lot of big name free agents are going to be available.

Last time I checked Mavs still have biggest need in rebounding and defense. Ilyasova does not solve any of those issues whatsoever. I like Ilyasova and he is good for what he brings but he is still a filler, not a need.
