We need at least one more player that plays the same role as Bass. Hollins is a good energy guy but lacks the IQ, so he picks up too many fouls to playconsistently.
Maybe Cuban should drive around the playgrounds in Dallas and grab some guy who will bust his $@* to get rebounds, and produce better offensively than Damp(not that it's very hard).
If we can acquire Mills in the draft then I'm all for it - the kid's got a level head on his shoulders.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Barea[/color] -Played pretty well this season, obviously he's short put he can get to the rim andbrings Earl Boykins type play off the bench
Bass - While undersized, is a beast - should have been used more in this series, needs to beresigned at all costs.
Carroll, Matt - His defense is such a letdown his streaky jumper isnt worth having - still along time left on that contract too. If he can improve his game at all then keep him otherwise might be worth buying out
Dampier, Erick - Contract on the books till end of 2011 season, and I don't think thesuitors are lining up. If we can find a replacement for him, he should come off the bench.
George, Devean - I hate this guy so much, he's gotta go. Alwayslaunching Treys and generally hurting team chemistry
Player option whichI doubt he'll exercise
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Green, Gerald[/color] - Has had years to develop now, I don't think he's going to get anybetter. The kid just has a terrible bball IQ. Don't resign
Hollins, Ryan - I like what I've seen from him, exactly what we need in long atheltic type.If he can put on some more muscle his aggressiveness could be useful.
Howard, Josh - If we can get anything of value/pieces that fit us in return I think he'sgotta go - Josh has played OK, but his injury concerns and lack of toughness are not needed.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Kidd, Jason[/color] - If we draft mills, depending on his readiness, have Kidd start until he can takeover. Kidd will probably want to go to a contender I imagine so we'll have to see how that works out in terms of resigning him.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Nowitzki, Dirk[/color] - No brainer, but Dirk's almost 31 so not much time left. I would be open totrading him if we can't make significant changes this offseason and get good value in return
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Singleton, James [/color] - I like what he's shown, good piece to keep. Resign but don't breakthe bank and develop him!!
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Stackhouse, Jerry [/color] - Obviously keep as trade bait.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Terry, Jason[/color] - Terry's played well but dissapeared these playoffs.. I don't thinkhe's very wanted but open to trading him if we can get something good.
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Williams, Shawne [/color] - did !*!! all, cut
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Wright, Antoine[/color] - Showed some flashes. Really hasnt developped much since his NJ days buthe's here till 2010 anyway so keep
