The three really strong teams in the West are Dallas, Lakers, and San Antonio. Two of those three teams rely on their freakishly huge front-lines to help them out. Dallas with Marion, Dirk, Tyson, Haywood, Mahinmi. Dallas can match-up with pretty much anyone. There are nights when Haywood doesn't play, there are nights when Mahinmi won't play. Same goes with Lakers. The Celtics HAD that luxury when they had Perkins. Giving him up for his contract doesn't really make sense... Jeff Green will be up for an extension too.
Jesus......
A, Perk is up in 3 months dude. Green is up after next season. They don't need to even pay him til Ray is off the books, and KG and Pierce are a year closer. This buys them time. Perk was up NOW. Get it?
And how on Earth do you figure that Tyson and the rest of those dudes is some clear cut advantage over Shaq/JO/KG/Davis/Murphy and even Green can play the 4. (as he did in OKC) That Dallas frontline isn't gonna do a damn thing over Boston. Hell, you even put in Marion, so I guess I can include Pierce as well. I win.
Please save this Dallas finals vs Boston talk for late May at the earliest.
