Again, you are talking about SPARES. SCRUBS. None of these guys are borderline starters, or anything that should make the Mavs worry enough to run out and look for upgrades, with the possible exception of Swift. If that is the extent of the poblem, I will retain team chemistry and leave everything as is.

Some of them were starters years ago. SO WHAT? You say that some of them are tall - but then again, some are short. You say some are fast - but then again, some are slow. You say some of them had a good game or two in the past - again, SO WHAT? Everyone has a decent game here or there. You say ALL those players you named are CURRENTLY Mavs-killers? Nonsense - total unadulterated horse hockey.

And the essence of my point is in the final thing you say: "i'm a fan of Hendu and have appreciated what he's done this season, but at the same time i'm not naive to think he's the best backup in this league." SO WHAT? At best, only one of the guys you named could be construed as the "best backup in this league" - and your thesis apparently was that Henderson is the WORST (which again conflicts with "i'm a fan of Hendu and have appreciated what he's done this season.") Henderson is the WORST? That's just an absurd opinion.

You are afflicted with "grass is greener over the fence" eyesight. All those players (again with the possible exception of Swift) are mediocre, and if they (rather than Hendu) were on the Mavs where you watched them every game rather than seeing them for a few minutes once a month or less, you would realize the Mavs have something that isnt broke, so it doesnt need fixing. Henderson is making a significant contribution this year, and people in the Mavs organization are very aware of that fact, whether you can see it or not.
