In my opinion, Bamba would only make sense if Powell wasn't a Maverick. The addition of Bamba simply gives you 3 centers who would have difficulty playing heavy minutes - although you might have slightly better rim protection with that group. Bamba has had difficulty being healthy and goes long stretches without being able to play at all.
The Mavericks need a center who can rebound and protect the rim (besides a rookie draft pick). Cuban and Nico have both said as much. They probably can't acquire the perfect center now, so I suspect they would like to at least get a veteran starter 4 or 5 who has some length and can rebound - and a 5 versatile enough to play 20-30 minutes a game.
We can't continue to be small lightweights under the basket.
