Default RE:Diop, Moore, Johnson (and other centers)

Pretty sad I'm jumping on the Mikki Moore bandwagon now considering who I wanted when the offseason began!!! But since the guys I was most interested in (Gadzuric, Zaza, Hunter, Mutombo, D. Davis) are gone or no longer obtainable because of salary I think he makes the most sense.

Follow my logic. Start the season with Moore as your primary backup to Damp. Send DJ and PPod to the NBDL. Give DJ some heavy minutes for 10-20 games there. I think it will help his development more than getting 5-6 minutes per game at the start of the season. Bring him back to the Mavs (sending Marshall down) with about 50-60 games left. With heavy NBDL minutes under his belt he should be better able to play 15-18 minutes a game behind Damp. Moore is phased into the 3rd center position and hopefully DJ is playoff ready. Not ideal, but better than any alterantive I see.
