With the second half of the first round of the #NBAPlayoffs underway, Kirk and Josh connect to note any observations about what they’re seeing, then discuss any recent #Mavericks news, and close out talking about the seasons of #JoshGreen, #FrankNtilikina, #TheoPinson, and maybe even #AJLawson

��TYSON CHANDLER Only Championship Center for D- Magazine BIG TEX TRINITY RIVER DALLAS MAVS��
✴MAVS PROBLEM:
KEEPING A TRUE CENTER
Center: Use to be the guy who would score most of the points on the team because he was the tallest guy on the team and positioned himself physically as the closest man to the basket (hoop). Think Wilt Chamberlain (The guy with the most records of any professional athlete including basketball player. Wilt played center mostly and point/center one year which he had the most assist (a category which records are normally held by elite professional playmakers (now called point guards)). So the center position used to be valued as the number one most vital position to secure when formulating a strong starting 5.
TYSON CHANDLER Only Championship Center for D- Magazine BIG TEX TRINITY RIVER DALLAS MAVS
DALLAS WON A CHAMPIONSHIP WHEN THEY HAD A TRUE CENTER AND DECIDED NOT TO OFFER AN OFFER TO KEEP COMPTON REPRESENTATIVE TYSON CHANDLER.
DALLAS SQUANDERED THAT PLAYAS TALENT AND THEN THE POTENTIAL TO REPEAT ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP.
✴MAVS PAST #1LESSON:
GET A SOLID CENTER AND KEEP HIM
IN CONCLUSION:
MAVS SHOULD HAVE STARTED AND CONTINUED TO PLAY MCGEE (CENTER) AND WOOD (POWER FORWARD). THIS SOLVES A LOT OF THE SECOND (MULTIPLE) CHANCES THE OPPONENTS WERE GETTING BY BEATING MAVS AT DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS.
✴MAVS PLANS TO DUMP MOST OF THEIR ROSTER:
MY HOPE:
STARTERS
C-? (GET YOUNG PLAYA THAT HAS LONG CAREER AHEAD OF HIM) (GET HIGH FYERS HIGHLY ATHLETIC) THINK "THE RAIN MAN" BLOCK PARTY AND ALLEY-OOPS

KEEP CHRISTIAN WOOD AND KEEP DEVELOPING HIM. IT'LL BE CHEAP TO PAY HIM FOR HIS SKILL LEVEL. ANOTHER STEAL FOR MAVS ALONG WITH JADEN HARDY, GREEN, FRANK NTILIKINA AND LAWSON. THEO PINSON IS OLDER BUT HE IS ALSO A STEAL. HIS FIRST GAME STARTING AS A MAV HE GETS A TRIPLE DOUBLE.
DWIGHT POWELL CAN BE A PF NOT A TRUE CENTER..HE IS VERY CO PARTNER TO LUKA..VERY MUCH A TEAM PLAYER BUT NOT ATHLETIC ENOUGH TO DOMINATE BOARDS BLOCKS AND EASY BASKETS LIKE A TRUE CENTER.
MCGEE IS A STEAL BUT MAVS GOTTA LET HIM PLAY TO SHOW HOW DEDICATED HE HIS TO BE A RELIABLE CENTER LIKE HE DID WHEN BOTH HIM AND C.WOOD PLAYED IN THOSE Last games together.
McGEE SHOULD GET A SOLID CONTRACT. HE HAS BEEN UNDER UTILIZED……PERIOD. SAME FOR THEO PINSON…LAWSON…FRANK AND HARDY.
I LOVE TO SEE
��KYRIE, ��A.J. LAWSON AND ��HARDY PLAY TOGETHER… THEY CAN RUN N GUN UP N DOWN
