I would scratch Shawn Bradley for Dallas and replace him with Detlepf Schremp who played both SF/PF and also Either Tarpley or Donaldson would start at Center over Perkins who would then backup Dirk.

Thats not how the scoring works though. My scoring will take tenure into account as well as ability, like I said. Bradley played for the Mavs for eight and a half seasons while Schrempf only played three and a half. Plus, their PAR per game were pretty close. Bradley actually has twice the score of Schrempf in my list. Schrempf is ranked 28, by the way. If I wanted to replace Bradley with anyone, the two guys who are next in line here are Popeye Jones and Pat Cummings, but Bradley has a much higher total PAR than either of them. It looks as though eventually Josh Howard will be booting Shawn from the list.

Lineups were determined by scoring, too. For the starters, I looked who had the highest score at each position and then for the bench, I sorted it by PAR per game. I could have put in Tarpley instead of Perkins at starting center because he had a higher PAR per game but then there would be no one to back Tarpley up at center. Donaldson did not deserve to be on the active reserves over anyone who is already there. Its better that there is no definitive backup PF because Dirk would demand more minutes than Perkins or Tarpley.

Thats very kool to look at.

I expect Devin Harris and Josh Howard to work their way up that list.
