Mavs Can Get Seventh or Eighth at The Most

Well if the Mavs don't sign a decent center or shooting guard.

Don't expect the Mavs to have home court in the playoffs or even make it next year.

Or at least a trade. Maybe someone like Michael Redd whom the Bucks don't really need. They're in a rebuilding stage it seems like.

Pistons are letting go of center Rasheed Wallace. Sign him and possibly Marcin Gortat and you have a pretty strong frontcourt.

Trade Possibilities: For Michael Redd

Antoine Wright: young, defensive stopper

Jerry Stackhouse: $2 million buyout.

Cash and future picks could work.

Just imagine a lineup like this:

PG: Jason Kidd (assuming he signs)                       PG: Jose Barea

SG: Michael Redd                                               SG: Jason Terry

SF: Josh Howard                                                SF: James Singleton

PF: Dirk Nowitzki                                                PF: Brandon Bass

C: Rasheed Wallace                                            C: Marcin Gortat

Pretty dangerous team if you ask me.

Look at the teams in the League that made improvements:

Lakers: Sign Ron Artest. 

Spurs: Trading For Richard Jefferson.

Memphis Grizzlies: A young team that just got a defensive force.

Oklahoma City: A team that is very young and explosive. Led by Kevin Durant.

Cleveland: Getting Shaq from Phoenix.

Orlando: Vince Carter from NJ. Adding yet another all - star player.

Toronto: Taking Hedo from the Portland Trail Blazers

Atlanta: Trading to Golden State for Jamal Crawford.

Detroit: Signing of Villanueva and Gordon and the firing of Michael Curry.

Maybe Houston since they acquired Trevor Ariza but lost Yao and Artest.
