RE:P.J. Brown
Pirate, Brown would get 22-25mpg for our team. He'll take minutes from Booth/Bradley because he fits perfectly into Nellie's system. Nelson wants someone who's a natural 4 but can play the 5, and that's exactly who Brown is. Because most of the time when Hendu's in the game, Dirk's in the game. And this way Dirk could still play the 4.
And if you look at the contenders, they all have a great frontcourt F/C coming off the bench, ex. PHO: Hunter, SAS: Rose/Horry, SEA: Fortson, SAC: Songalia, HOU: Dike/Taylor, MEM: Swift, LAL: Grant, MINN: Madsen/Griffin.
Because if i had to pick out Dallas' biggest weakness, it's our frontcourt depth. I don't think Booth or Bradley get enough time to play their best, and putting Dirk at the 5 with Hendu at the 4 ain't gonna fly in the playoffs.

I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
