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.

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...

Hi Underdog my old friend

Why you talk about Dalembert and Brown?You should talk about Chandler.Because he is our number one...

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.
