RE:What do the Mavs need?
I wouldn't want K. Van Horn as we need defense at the PF position behind Nowitzki. Van Horn loathes physical play and is a poor rebounder as well. He would offer good shooting off the bench but we'd already have an abundance of offense from the bench from guys like D. Harris and whoever among Daniels/Finley/Howard is shunted to backup SG/SF.
Tim Thomas isn't particularly great defensively, but he does have the agility, length and wingspan to become at least decent and defend anyone from the 1 to the 4. He's also a solid ball-handler (another guy who could bring the ball down the court) at the SF position and both PHI and MIL at one point thought he could actually be a decent tall PG (LAC also considered doing this with Lamar Odom). He's humble enough not to demand the ball every play and might be happy being a complementary scorer rather than a main option.
