MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[mvossman]

So basically you're saying Mavs stick with Holmes, who doesn't play and DP who doesn't rebound, instead of Wiseman.
Okay. Got it.

IMHo, maybe the Mavs don't need the Capela and Ayton types anymore given Lively's play. But Maxi is going to sit out games, so Mavs need another big.
Who's out there as a backup C? or even a 3rd string C given Holmes doesn't play?

I'm asking for the price of Wiseman.
If he comes cheap, then why not? He is young and could develop still.

If his cost is too much, which I doubt it is, then there's no point in getting him.

Holmes doesn't play because Powell and Maxi are better players.  He is the 4th string center.  Wiseman would be 5th string.  He wouldn't play either.  

There are plenty of backup traditional centers out there who rebound more than Powell, but in most cases their on court impact is less.  

We got a backup traditional center last year and we stretched waived him just to not see him on the bench.

If Holmes is completely toast then it might make sense to get a min 3rd string traditional center, but I'm not sure we know that yet.  Powell and Maxi are legit rotational players and Lively has been a revelation.  If Maxi misses some time I expect we will see a little bit of Holmes.
