Low cost options would be Kwame Brown, Jeff Foster. There is a possibility that the Bucks will use the amnesty clause on Drew Gooden.
Reach but I will dream anyway...Marc Gasol. Not only is he a top-8 center, his skill-set would make it possible to sit Dirk for longer stretches in a game by running the offense through Marc. Since the Mavs would have their center for the future, they could focus their resources on signing DWill the following year when Kidd/Terry come off the books. In addition, use the opt out clause on Brendan to fill out the roster.

Hence my interest in Dalembert.

I'd rather have Kwame than Delambert. At least Kwame looked like a competent player last season. And he had a great finish, particularly in the rebounding department.

Last season:
Samuel Dalembert - 8.1 PPG / 8.2 RPG / 1.4 BPG
Kwame Brown - 7.9 PPG / 6.8 RPG / 0.6 BPG
I guess looks can be deceiving...

100% agree that bringing back Chandler is Plan A.
We're just considering a Plan B if he doesn't re-sign with the Mavs.

I liked what I saw from Kwame a lot more than Dalembert, especially after Next Town Brown got the axe in Charlotte. Kwame played with more fire than Dalembert ever has.
Plus I believe it's already a lock that Dalembert is going to Miami. And he'll probably get a deal worth at least 3-4 times as much as Kwame gets.

Um, where exactly is Miami going to scrape up the 3-4 times more money than what Kwame is worth to pay Dalembert??
The projected 2011/12 salary cap is about $58mil, Miami already has $65mil in dedicated salaries...
EDIT: also, where did you get the idea that Kwame finished stronger than Dalembert? Looking at their last 8 games (the month of April), Kwame did have a very impressive 23/13 game, but Dalembert had games of 16/18, 17/16, 12/10, 21/15 and 10/12 in that same stretch...

MLE... I believe Miami will offer the whole thing to Dalembert. And I mean in total contract, not 3-4 times as much per year. I think Kwame gets 1, maybe two years tops, but somebody (Miami, if not them probably Houston) will severely overpay Dalembert.

I'm not sure where I said that. I just liked what I saw from Kwame.
