I think if CLE decides they can't match UT's offer to C. Boozer, they'll be desperate for a PF so A. Walker would fit nicely. He's not the physical banger/rebounder that Boozer was, but his passing skills will definitely help out and his dribbling skills are pretty good so he can take some of the ball-handling duties off of McInnis and L. James. Also, CLE has T. Battie to play C if Ilgauskas leaves. The only prob for DAL is that Ilgauskas and Nowitzki are both soft and terrible defenders who can get pushed around in the paint. We'd probably have an even worse post defense than we did last year if we had Z at C and Dirk at PF.

Also, I think Charlie Ward would make a good pickup at PG with the LLE or vet minimum. He's a tough defender who has been through the wars with NYK and SA and would therefore make a great mentor to D. Harris. He'd be happy coming off the bench.
