Can't get anybody better or has the front office just sucked for a long time? Fortunately, their are at least 2 players on our roster who will prove to be better than Dwight very quickly.
Quote:And the idea that he is only good for garbage time and Injury depth is not supported by any metric you can find.
Regular season stats mean almost nothing to me. We aren't the Kings. The goals need to bigger. We can't be massively gapped at C by every playoff team.
Brook Lopez, Robert Williams, Embiid, Jarret Allen, Mitchell Robinson, Claxton, Capela, Bam. Oh dear. Every single east playoff team (we have to beat one to win the title) would eat Dwight for breakfast.
So what do we have to go through to get to the final? JOKIC, Jaren Jackson, Sabonis, Ayton, Zubac, Looney, ANTHONY DAVIS, Gobert/KAT. Fortunately their are a couple of soft players on this list who we could get by against for a series. Fact still remains that eventually in a playoff run we will be massively outmatched. We've already been DESTROYED by Looney.
Quote:He is a quality backup big with the added benefit of being a high character high motor guy that will do whatever the team asks.
That's great. I hope he keeps that energy up and cheers hard on the bench!
Quote:So its the end of the season if he starts a couple of games? How many games did he start 2 years ago in this teams best run since the championship?
The Mavs were very fortunate to play FRAUDS and CHOKERS. Ayton - softer than baby poo. Booker and CP3 playing so bad they had to send out an apology letter. Gobert and Mitchell... they literally blew up their team after seeing their performance. Couple that with our second star coming online and we had a fun run. Instantly SMACKED by the Warriors. It's not good enough for me.
So we have established that we can NOT win with Dwight as our starting C. The good news is, you guys are going to be shocked by Lively and Holmes. Can we win with Lively as our starting C? Probably not, but a full season of Lively will prove to be better than wasting time with Dwight. The run can happen as soon as next season.
