Quote:
If this team can get Ostertag as a FA and a coach that will play a Tag/Bradley rotation for most of the minutes and center as well as stress playing on both sides of the ball, the Mavs will be a dramatically improved team defensively. Daniels and Howard won't be rookies next year either which will help tremendously. Let Dirk play the 4 spot exclusively, and I think that we will see great improvement from him defensively with a coach who will actually coach him there. Get rid of Walker, and the mismatches he causes us to have on D and we'll see even more improvement.

Great start.....don't stop though.
Get a Big 7' athletic type that will block shots as a third C. Someone like Chandler, Rasheed Wallace, or Camby.
This way the 5 is covered with a Banger in TAG, Quick Athletic type, and the Disrupter in Bradley, for all the different type of teams Dallas plays.
Need a backup type veteran guard who can "lock down" defensively..One who is long and can rebound a little. Daniels might fill this role, if he is not overplayed as the starting 2 Guard.
Need a backup guard who is a pure shooter.....NVE, Barry (either), Vashon Leonard, Steve Kerr, many others. Just a role player who can hit the 3.
*** Things I know: Nash, Fin, Jamison, Nowitzki will never be GREAT defenders, but they can be average, and that could win them a championship. *** If you will surround them with great defenders, their offense will carry a team.
