Daniel Theis is a DNP in Indiana and could be a great backup center for the Mavs with very limited risk. He is an expiring contract with a team option next year, the perfect candidate for an experiment and should be available on the cheap. Theis had a great World Cup, being a central piece for the winning german team and the best defensive player in the tournament, while being able to shoot 3s. He has a great relationship with Dirk and seems to be a great fit on this team, what do you guys think?

    What tf are these posts asking for another pf/c? There’s a reason why Theis isn’t playing lmao Dwight/Maxi are fine back ups for now. DeAndre Jordan was a backup for Denver last year and won the chip lmao

    We need another Grant Williams off the bench or another lengthy wing with size. THJ and Green are too undersized for 3/4, especially when we need defense. Also, those two guys need to be really good and consistent if we want to win. OG, Lu Dort, Jerami Grant, Aaron Gordon… somewhere along these players but cheaper. Maybe Thybulle?

      Maxi is not healthy and hasn’t been for like a year and a half. That’s the fundamental problem - Maxi’s role (a 3&D big) is exactly what we need given our struggles against larger teams like Minny and Denver. If we can get someone with more reliable health than Maxi, ideally without giving up any of our rotation, that’s a win.
