The Dallas Mavericks are 16-31 with the second worst record in the Western Conference.
Combine that with the trade deadline looming and a roster full of moveable pieces and suddenly, the Mavericks have some decisions to make for the second half of the season.
In particular, what to do in the front court.
With trade speculation aside, there is an in-house decision to be made in regards to backup big minutes.
Before training camp even took place, the Mavericks made the decision to bench Nerlens Noel and move Dirk Nowitzki to the starting center spot.
