Our offense can easily be predicated by our defense and if the Mavs play good to great defense they can run and don't have to play in the halfcourt as much, thus that makes having a guy like Iggy become a solid advantage: he plays really good defense and can be a force on the break.

I know Joe doesn't have options around him in Atlanta but you are who are you...and he appears to be a jump-shooter. I'm not say I'm jumping off the bandwagon if he comes here, it's just my concern and if you give me a player like Iggy...it should definitely be discussed based on their differences.
You have to be able to play the half court to play in the playoffs. I'm not interested in forces on the break. You're really doing Johnson a disservice by calling him a jump shooter.
