attempt at getting Donyell Marshall

[Poindexter Einstein]

DALM ... if you look at Henderson's "injury history" it appears that he gets an injury, then rehabs really well. Following an injury season, he has played 70+ games in the following year. He has never had two consecutive seasons where he missed a bulk of the games due to injury.

He again has spent time rehabbing and getting healthy, so he should be reliable for this year.

VINNIE .... before you get in a rush to give away Bradley, take a look at what other teams are doing to try to get a backup center. There is real junk out there THAT IS BEING CHASED, and having Bradley as 3rd team is a great security blanket. In addition, his contract is quite reasonable for a big man. (Bradley as the starter isn't good enough. But in a 2nd or 3rd team role, he is about as good as it gets in this league.)

The Mavs have been center-deprived for way too long. Let's keep our excess, and then cash some of it in WHEN WE REALLY NEED SOMETHING. This roster is loaded at every position already - if we cash in Bradley for talent, we wouldn't know what to do with it.

Right now, if we use Bradley to trade for more talent, we are the kid in the candy story, with both pockets bulging with candy, a tummy ache from eating too much sweets, and our mouth crammed full. And we have a fistful of dollars, and are dying to spend it on more candy.

Now is not the time.

PE, it's not like Booth is a picture of health either....so, Bradley becomes even more valuable as a backup. Bradley would be a great #2 guy at the center spot and a great security blanket as the #3 guy.

If we gotta' have excess, better it's at center position. The fouls come in handy during the playoffs (ask Detroit) and centers are so much easier to trade in this center-starved league.

Bradley is a good backup center both as #2 or #3 option as Murph & PE have mentioned. He matches up well against Yao and clearly a better shot blocker (& shot alterer) than Booth. And he knows Nellie's system better than Booth. Unfortunately, the only thing he lacks is Nellie's trust.
