EXTENSION: Gobert signs 5yr/$205M w/ UTA | DAL "significant interest" if available

I agree. 

Here's how we can bring this back to Gobert:

1) If WCS continues to play well, earning more and more minutes...

2) and IF Carlisle thinks the way Kamm does about playing two bigs together (not Powell types, but real, actual BIGS)..

...then I think we'll see some WCS/Porzingis lineups get a real shot at some point this season. 

I don't anticipate that happens, personally, but I'll be looking for it. 

I think they DO want to play two bigs, but that they want that 2nd one to be more of a Powell type. They now have three of them: Powell, Kleber and Johnson. I don't think that's an accident.

Ya this is correct thinking. If we don't ever see Rick try 2 big lineups then we know the Mavs have little interest in going that direction. If somehow Rick did start doing WCS/KP with success then you could also argue that Mavs don't need a 20 mil+ center anyway if WCS gets it done for 4 mil a year.

The thing that's curious to me is why the Mavs looked at Crowder if they are so into Powell being in the starting lineup. I imagine they did not commit to Crowder being a full time starter. You would have thought though a Crowder signing would point more in the small-ball direction bc Crowder would be a PF here.
