Lively is our best option out there sooner or later IF we do not add another center. I am doubtful we are swinging a deal for anyone that is a major talent and we should have just grabbed a free agent center from whoever was available at the start of free agency. Lively is going to start sooner than most of you think and he already has shown he has the rebounding and defensive intimidation to keep guards and wings out of the paint. I am not worried if he makes a few rookie mistakes a game the MAVS should be more talented than most teams and be strong enough to overcome that occasional mishap. The addition of far more potent defense is a huge upgrade that makes it more likely we can overcome a few mistakes by our rookies and that just teaches them the game faster so they can get to the point where they are able to play without making many mistakes. That is the kind of investment I want to see the team make in our rookies. PLAY THEM and develop them they are the future.
