they need someone who will have an impact...
I guess maybe what I'm saying is I am willing to trade Walker or Jamison if that would get an a big who would make a difference... an impact player....not an All Star, but more than Eddie, Fort, or Mihm or Bradley...if a trade of one of those two or a package will get that here then I am all for that!.....not a Mihm hater, but looking for more....

I would hardly call Mihm average. While he's definitely not star quality, he's above average for a center. And I wouldn't give up any of the Big 5 or Bradley to get Mihm. Anyone else that we can trade is fair game. Remember that excludes our rookies, we can't trade them by NBA and collective bargaining fiat.
If we could take our spares and get just an average center, it would be a great deal. I don't see it happening. FA is our best place to look. Again, we're not going to get someone that good. But we don't need someone that good. Look back at some of the stats for the Bulls centers during their 6 years of titles. Nobody really stands out, but they were good enough to get the job done. They were tall, decent sized (ie not skinny), but were either career spares or washed up stars. That's all we need. Think about it would you rather have a 6'8" spare in the middle or a 7'0" spare?

Mihm may still be a project.....but he had three years to show something...and has not to me at least....and I'm a horn fan.....maybe one day he'll have a great game against the Mavs and I'll come around[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]...nah
remember, all these numbers come with an * because he has been in the EAST!!! Just dont think hes an answer

Sike you forget that Delk is only a spare. So giving a short spare for a tall spare is usually really good. And spares do help a team. They just are the main factors that stars are. Again all we need to do is follow the Jordan Bulls example find a few decent spars to man the middle. Guys with size. We don't need stars, they will cost us our strength and will cost more than they return. Sure if Indiana wants to do a straight up trade of Jamison or Walker for J O'Neil with spars as filler to make the salary cap work, sure I do that in a heart beat. And if Bill Gates wants to send me a check for $1,000,000.00 if I'll cash it, I'd do that one also. Don't think either scenario will happen.
Just remember that the Mavs are the most loaded team in the NBA for positions 1 through 4. Nobody even comes close. But the 5 spot is our glaring weakness. All we have is one injured center. That's it. Everyone else is a PF. So we just need a spare to give us a little relief here. Somebody to plug the dike enough so we can overwhelm people at the other 4 positions.
