There is a valid question above if he can play perimeter defense at all or if we have to play him as a center. I think its a good trade for Mavs, but it actually makes some sense for Bucks if they are looking for more defense (and Grant has been a better defender in the past than he has been for us).
He's a backup center. I've never assumed otherwise.
