Mullens, re-sign Wright and Brand.
Sarge, Dirk, Mullens, Wright, and Brand. Big man rotation would be set.

Dalembert over other remaining options.
Dalembert, Wright and maybe Brand sounds about right

At least Dalembert can rebound and block shots.

Daly and Brand are the top two known and realistic options by a pretty wide margin, as far as my mental search of names can tell.

I wrote it in Bynum topic that i think we should trade Marion for a center especially if the coaching staff thinks that Crowder can step up this year. Carter minutes should also see increased time at the SF.

Well, Diop could be our insurance incase we need length at center.

Just because it's at least somewhat relevant to how things proceed, worth noting that assuming all three rooks make the team, Brandan re-signs, and neither Akognon or James gets cut, by my count the Mavs are at 13 players.

Dalembert is certainly the best candidate left, but that's not gonna get it done if the Mavs want to actually make the playoffs and have any chance of first-round upset.

I don't know how many bobcats games you've seen recently, but Diop and Mullens are absolutely atrocious

Hopefully we don't strike out on Dalembert. But I would take a serious look at Diop as an insurance policy. Plus it would be cool to pull out some old school videos to throw on the jumbotron with Diop Dirk and Devin Harris

There is no way James gets cut. Akognon is a goner. No need to have 5 point guards.... unless you have no centers.
SH#T... looks like akognon is staying.

I'm confident that Dirk will have a bit of a bounce back year..and Dirk at crunch time can bring home alot of games. However, what's this team's goal at this point?

Where'd you see that about Akognon?

Correct - 2 spots left. Both really gotta go towards big men.
Roughly:
PG. Calderon | Mekel | Larkin | Akognon + [Harris]
SG. Harris| Ellington | Ledo + [Carter, Crowder]
SF. Marion | Carter | Crowder
PF. Nowitzki | Wright + [Marion]
C. X | James | X + [Wright]

Adrian Wojnarowski @ WojYahooNBA 8s
Free agent center Sam Dalembert will meet with Mavericks officials on Thursday in Dallas, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Had Mullens on my fantasy team reason why I know about him. Averaged 10 points and 6 boards from all the 41 games he started. Had 8 double doubles in the season. Climbed more each year. As for Dalembert.. he started 23 games being pushed aside with 6 points and 6 points.

Mullens shot horribly the ball, he 's basically a 7 footer Monta Ellis.

How many games did you watch?
Diop is constantly the last person down the floor, and constantly out of position. Mullens shoots contested 3s early in the clock for no reason. Terrible numbers for the worst team in the league does not move the needle for me.

I saw off and on. But if you pair Mullens up with Brand, Sarge, or Wright off the bench. It could spread the floor better than what Charlotte had. I look at Mullens being a Raef Lafrentz and Kaman 2.0 version. Not saying he should an starter also.

Impossible without dumping Marion.

Not a center IMO. Can play the PF backup.

Just start Sarge at this point and bring Brand and Wright back. Gonna have to game plan around the stronger teams killing us inside. Should've drafted a big...

Per discussions on the roster, it seems fairly logical to assume Akognon won't be brought back. The Mavs already have two project PG's, hard to imagine they'd carry a third.
If his contract doesn't have a guarantee deadline until the league mandated one in Jan then I could see scenarios where he's kept around, but I wouldn't ever view his spot as "filled". Have to assume the Mavs would dump him in a heartbeat if they need the spot.

Dalembert is a must have now. Cheapest as possible and just one year guaranteed so you maybe can switch him at the trade deadline. Bring Brand back too.
Hell no to Mullens. Terrible moronic chucker. Antoine Walker style.
Maybe trying to trade for Haywood with the Bobcats.
I think i would invite Oden to test him. If he looks good sign him cheap and tease him with big minutes if he is healthy...

The Mavs can't re-acquire Haywood until his current contract is over.

Crap, thought its just a year waiting period.
I dont like Blair at all. Horrible D, there is a good reason why he fell out of the Spurs rotation.

Back to the days of scrounging around for any old center.

Since were wanting to bring back Haywood and diop, let's go for the trio and get Chandler back as well!
I hope we close something tomorrow with dalembert for real though.

Gortat
Varejao
Pek
???
Does it seem like we can get a better center via trade/sign trade involving Marion ?
