    I guess he meant "starting center".

    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).

    Pretty solid team if they stay healthy and mesh well.

    They will score points and pull off a few upsets. They'll also lose a lot.

    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.

    They would even battle for the 7th spot if they could find some consistency with the roster.

    I don't know if Bear is still capable of being a starting C in the league.

    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.
