Dallas just desperately needs to hover AROUND .500 until Dirk gets back. Even if he isn't able to catapult this team to official elite status immediately his presence alone is such a confidence boost. Their schedule in January and February isn't actually that horrible, so they have another opportunity to pad their record once everyone is healthy.
I'm still in favor of a move for Dalembert or someone of that ilk once Dirk returns. Mavericks need an interior presence in the worst way right now, and if they could snag a veteran point guard that would be gravy.
