Luol Deng?

Would adding Deng automatically take us out of the Lance Stevenson race?

Yep, unless we can trade Monta for a starting center... I'd rather have one of Deng/Lance (preferably Lance) and a center than both of them and a third-tier center.

Salary-wise, probably yep.

But I like Deng better than Stephenson... One shows promise while the other shows more than ample proof.

Stevenson is only 23 though. Deng would be pretty much just for the Dirk era, whereas Lance would be building for the present AND the future. And with the Mavs inability to hit in the draft...it might be worth thinking long term.
