If he were to become a Maverick, he would be the #2 option with Dirk on this team. He would see much less double teams, and much less attention from opposing defenses.

Man he's got a lot of mileage on him doesn't he? 11 years pro and he appears to be averaging about 55 games/year the last 4 or so. But he's 30 now, not 35...Possibly...
He'd be a very nice center.
