    Re: Jason Terry

    Mbenga is potentially a backup to Diop in a few years. He's far from the player that Dampier is, out best center, and if we trade Damp, it really hurts our C position. Mbenga will be the 3rd string next year in all liklihood. In a few year, he could be a very good backup.

    The shooter needs to be able to play defense. Like a Greg Bucker type who can spot up for 3's and play defense. Nothing else is needed, but I think a Kapono/Piakowski type player wont get PT with Avery...

    Some of the PF/Cs Id look at are Melvin Ely (RFA), Reggie Evans (UFA), not sure whoelse is out there. I dont want to bring in a rookie, at the #28 pick nonetheless, and rely on him as the backup.

    Id actually go the other way, in that drafting a SG/SF shooter and going after the backup PF/C in FA.

    Draft shooter at #28 (Maurice Ager?)
    Resign JET Terry via Bird Rights
    Resign Griffin via LLE
    Resign Mbenga via Early Bird Rights
    Sign Melvin Ely with the MLE
    Sign DA to Vet Minimum
    Trade Pavel for some 2nd rounders and cash

    G- Terry / Harris / Armstrong
    G- Daniels / Griff / Ager
    F- Howard / Stackhouse / Marshall
    F- Dirk / Ely / Powell
    C- Diop / Dampier / Mbenga

    I think this team gets better and you still keep the core intact. Ely provides that inside presense that can score with his back to the basket and play a little defense in the post. Ager evenually takes over for Stack as the 6th man and Howard/Harris/Dirk all bring something new to the table in the offseason.

    Id also like to see Dallas move up in the draft, but dont know how likely that will be.

      I agree with that approach.

      We seem to be on the same page as to what the direction the team should go and the needs. I think Avery kinda confirmed this in his last press conference the day after the Finals.

      Basically, he said Terry was main priority and that the Mavs are very close. Said he doesn't expect drastic changes because he doesn't believe they are that far away from getting it done.

      Avery's big on continuity which is why I think most of these guy's will be back again accept Van Horn and maybe Griffin, character meaning he won't sign guy's who have a history of dissrupting a team's chemistry, passion meaning a big name guy isn't neccessarily always the type of guy Avery goes for a hutler or scrapper someone willing to work hard and do dirty work that goes unnoticed is his type of guy.

      My offseason goal for Dallas would be to draft a shooter aswell and sign a low post scoring PF or C. I've thought a deal for Magloire but that would probably cost the Mavs a draft pick or a young guy on the roster already. So, that led me to a guy that would make this team even more flexible but he's going to cost them money Al Harrington. He'll be more expensive than Ely to land but he would be the perfect fit for Dallas a guy who you can play alongside Dirk and score both inside and out when you go small or you could move Howard to SG and start Harrington at SF. That would give Dallas more flexibility and definetly make them more dangerous. Depending on how aggressive Cuban will be it's possible but then if they stay low key like they were last offseason and want to sign a young guy who is willing to work hard like Diop than Ely would be a great alternative.

      I would actually switch Daniels and Terry roles next year. I think Daniels is Dallas best pure passer and playmaker. I'm still not sure why Avery didn't play him more vs Miami but the kid has PG skills even at 6'6 and he's smooth around the basket. Nelson had visions of Daniels being a PG and that's the direction I would go if I was Avery. It's weird because if you could mix Harris speed with Daniels passing skills you'd have a very solid PG in Dallas. So somehow Avery has to find away to get these two guy's to form a rotation at PG and use them based on matchups.

        I'd have to say that I can't think of a better situation for the Mavs if they followed this plan.

        NBA: Dallas Mavericks

          All Daniels needs is consistent playing time and he will be fine. He's not going to be effective playing 30 mintes for two three games and then getting 10 minutes the next four. Hopefully Daniels works hard this offseason (if he's still here) and ups his game enough to get that PT.

            Re: Jason Terry

            Sorry that I'm getting here late to the party, and cdub already questioned it, but can somebody explain to me how Dallas could possibly retain him?

            He's been in Dallas for 2 years, so they do not have Larry Bird rights on him. Dallas is 24 million over the cap next season, so that's no good either. To me it looks like the only option is the MLE. Am I missing something?

              When JET was traded to Dallas, his Bird Rights are automatically traded with him. So, the one year in Atlanta under his current contract + the two years in Dallas under his current contract equal out to the 3 years needed to have Bird Rights on a player.

                Ya know, just when I think I have a grip on the CBA stuff that matters, it turns out I screw it up.

                Thanks for the explanation. I had always thought it was 3 years without changing teams, but it's 3 years without changing teams as a free agent (or being waived).
