I'm just really glad that he did not end up in Miami, he would've been a great fit there and provided the rebounding/defense down low that they miss (besides Birdman).
Calderon Ellis Marion/Carter Nowitzki Dalembert Pretty solid team if they stay healthy and mesh well.
PG who can't shoot, a full blown chucker at SG, two SF' who need wheel chairs to get up and down the court, Nowitzki at the end of the rope and Dalembert. Thrilling! They're gonna have to score 120 points a game to stay in the playoff race for #8 seed since they have absolutely zero defense. LOVE IT.
Clippers Thunder Spurs Rockets Warriors Grizzlies ^ Those teams are practically lock for the playoffs and baring big (Curry) injuries, a lock for the playoffs. That leaves 2 spots between: Nuggets Pelicans (much improved) T'Wolves (healthy and improved) Mavs Lakers (matters how many games Kobe plays) Blazers
I think they'll be able to win 40-45 games. They'll probably give Carlisle a brain aneurysm getting there.

when he is motivated he is a legit starter, he had some great games when he was with us. He is motivated once every 20 games.
Probably going to be a one-year contract w/ 2nd year team option. Laugh all you want, but Dallas will have some cap space next season ... and that's what really matters to a rebuilding team.
