Another problem is having a 7-foot offensive foward as the first option doesn't cut it.

Those type of players need to be the 2nd option to go places and win titles, unless the player is a Duncan-type 7-foot foward. But even that alone won't get it done the way the league plays today.

Maybe I'm being harsh with "2nd option", just get some really, really good guys around him.
Your thoughts that you need a different player the way the league is officiated these days is dead-on. You almost have to have a guy who will get the hand-checking fouls and the small baby bumps in the lane that dirk will not get. You just have to.

Mavs are desperate for a guy like that. We don't have him on this team.
