It was awkward in that Dirk had to play out of position as well as one the 'Twans. That absolutely compromised an already weak defensive team with Nash at the point and then Dirk at C with Jamison/Walker trying to cover a PF. It didn't help that the lack of offensive opportunities could lead to even less interest in playing defense when Walker didn't get the ball. Sometimes Jamison could pout as well, but it did not seem to be as often.
That said I would be willing to see if OMax can cover 3's efficiently if we have PJ & GW working as 4's primarily.
Good point about Dirk.
If they could talk one of them into coming off of the bench (probably Williams, since PJW would be making like $20M in this scenario) I’m good with it. But, I think they’ll continue to look for 2/3 types who can defend and centers.
