Who do you think are legit #2 (or #1) sidekicks for Dirk?
My guess is that Iggy is the best realistic player that we can add.
I'm hoping that Donnie and Cuban aren't thinking that guys like TMac, Shaq, Arenas, Davis, etc... fall into that "top-tier" category. Iggy is a huge stretch imo but he intrigues me because he is young, fills a need, has good size for his position, is an ironman (only 6 games missed in his career) has a great attitude, can get to the basket, can defend, would come with another good player, and we shouldn't have to give up much at all in terms of talent.
Add Iggy/Brand (only giving up Terry and Damp), re-sign Haywood and add a decent MLE guy, I'll be satisfied with the off season moves.
A rotation of Iggy/Butler/Marion at the 2/3, Roddy/Kidd at PG, Dirk/Brand/Haywood at 4/5 and signing a guy like Shaq or JO for PO depth would at least give us a fighting chance imo.
