I like this way of approaching the offseason and opinions of the board. To me, the FO has to take a two-lane road with Deron Williams. They've got to be prepared for both scenarios, he comes to Dallas or he doesn't. I also really think Azubuike has a Butler-esque impact on this team next year. Remember, the Mavs FO included a team option for next year.

I'll contribute by listing some of the more intriguing names. Obviously, some of these guys aren't feasible if Deron chooses to sign here. Also, I'll be limiting my list to unrestricted free agents, as oppoed to restricted or trade scenarios.

Steve Nash, Raymond Felton, Krik Hinrich, Jason Terry, Goran Dragic, Randy Foye, Nick Young, DeShawn Stevenson, Anthony Parker, Michael Redd, Steve Novak, Carl Landry, Ersan Ilyasova, Chris Kaman, Spencer Hawes, Greg Oden.

A few more notes, some of these depend on value, obviously. I think the positions that most need addressing include both guard spots, center and backup power forward. There are another handful of intriguing restricted guys, but like I said earlier, left them off. Same with trade targets, and possible amnesty claims. We honestly barely know what the landscape is going to look like. It will be another 6 weeks.

I agree completely with not looking at RFA. They have to be OVER payed to not be matched. Anyone who thinks we can afford a good RFA and Deron is seriously misled. McGee, Anderson, and Gordon will all be over 10mil/year easily.

Going though your list:

I really love Ersan. Great rebounder (esp. Offensive), good 3pt shooter, 24y/o. Can play the 3 or 4. I still think he will get at least 8million a year. If we could start him at 7 in the first year I think that would be a great player long term. His upside is very high.

I really think Goran will keep up his production if you let him handle the ball as much as he did starting in Houston. He will likely be overpaid. I think Portland will pursue him and offer 10mil/year. If we miss on Deron I definitely see us trying to get Goran. We'd have to bank on him becoming a top 5 PG to be worth it. I'd be a little worried long-term if we got him, but he could turn out to be Steve Nash-esque.

I like Spencer only a little. He's young, he can score. The problem is that he is only an average rebounder and although he can block shots he's not good on defense. I don't think he fits in next to Dirk. He will be overpaid like all big men.

I like Nick Young only a little too. He can flat out shoot and score with the best of them. He can't do anything else. He averaged 0.9 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 28mpg. Will probably be overpaid.

Chris Kaman…. only if he's cheap
Steve Nash….. only on a 1/2year deal if we strike out on Deron and Goran

Looking towards the future, I only like Ersan and Goran this offseason for their probable price. Of course Deron too. The rest I'd only want to do cheap players.

McGee won't have to be overpaid for Denver not to match as Denver has a ton of players to worry about and McGee doesn't even start for them. now some other team may try to pay him a ton but the things he's done in Washington are well documented so he'll probably come relatively cheap, especially compared to Haywood.

I concur.

Although, I'm not sure if we can afford both Ersa and Batum.

I have no doubt that someone will offer him AT LEAST 10 million/year. Most likely the first year will be above 10 million a year. Centers get overpaid. Always will.

There is no way he signs for less than 9 million a year and if he did it would be a no brainer match for Denver. If he signed for less than Haywood makes it would again be an obvious match for Denver.

Portland being 22 million under the cap will resign Batum up to 9/10 million year. Ersan will probably be at least 7/8.

To afford Deron, Batum and Ersan is nearly impossible. To afford two would be difficult.

I would really love Deron and Ersan, but only if we are able to get center help without using capspace. And Ersan/Marion/Dirk wouldn't be able to play together, and I would hate to give away Marion.

Does anyone else think Ersan Illyasova could be a potential "Kirelinko in his prime" star? I do.

Looks like Oden plans to sit out 2012 due to alcohol abuse and to get his knee ready.

I wish I could get more excited about him. His stats are very underwhelming. He can't pass. Rebounds terribly. Shots very poorly except FTs. Gets almost a steal a game.

When I first thought about him my memories must be shabby, because I thought I remember him being a good 3pt shooter.

I remember talking about CJ Miles as a possible Terry replacement earlier this season... Very intriguing, especially considering that he's played with Deron before and he's also a Dallas native. Sounds like he could be a lock to come here if we landed Williams.

He did have a bit of a down season stats-wise, but that seems to be par around the league.
