This summer I hope Boban is bought out so that we can use his roster spot on a player Rick will actually play. With KP as center Mavs really only need 1 more WCS-like bargain big assuming that Powell is coming back at some point early next season. Mavs need to load up on wings.Hmmm, I think of the big wing that people keep suggesting as a bruiser. We need someone out there to be able to contend with all the big bodied players/players that play bigger than they are that so many playoff teams have.
If KP could work himself into a bigger body or stronger body then that need would be alleviated. Alas, I think it’ll take more than a few seasons to get there, if he even thinks it’s something he needs to work on anymore.
Only reason I’ve given up on us getting a big bruiser is because RC won’t play that player even if he had him. That and he won’t change his scheme to accommodate for that player either. It’s kinda funny how people get swayed into thinking that is the best or only way to play, just because that’s how our team seems to think about it.
So many examples of teams that are better than us, that have a different philosophy and have a system that fits the best players on the squad.
