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?
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.
