RE: M'Benga is backup center "He's dominant" says Nelly
So what happens next year? with Benga, Bradley and Pavel backing up Damp that doesn't get them much playing time. Anyone else have a hunch that we trade bradley?

RE: M'Benga is backup center "He's dominant" says Nelly
Bad news - he is developing slowly, as we should have expected - rather than at an unrealistic all-world pace, as the hype machine made us think
Good news - when his contract expires in two years, he is very unlikley to have people willing to offer him more than the Mavs can offer (the Mavs limit will be essentially the MLE of 5 million per year), so the risk of "losing him" is more remote now than the risk of him never developing into a good center |

If anything, I'd rather see Pavel get in their until didier can calm down on the floor and learn the offensive plays.

RE: M'Benga is backup center "He's dominant" says Nelly
From what I've seen of pavel versus mbenga, mbenga is a much better option that pavel. I listened to an interview with mbenga and his statment (in VERY halting english) was overcoming the communication barriers.
I wonder if cubes shouldn't hire a translater for practices.

He's 245 lbs. That's the same as dirk. Why should anyone care about this stiff?
Bring on 300 lb. Pavel. Give him the garbage time.
