That's a good question. A friend of mine said that the one thing the mavs need is another player who has the ref's respect. Miami had Wade on the offensive end and Shaq/Mourning on the defensive end. The Mavs had only Dirk. Bonzi in Sactown looked like maybe he could gain some of that respect (though didn't he get suspended for hitting a ref once?), which may help offset the loss at center, as well.
