The Mavericks are potentially toying around with the idea of Dirk at center so they'll need to stock up on wings. Outside of LeBron and Durant, Batum is the best free agent wing on the market.
Dirk Nowitzki playing center full-time has always been the worst idea in modern human history. It's such a terrible idea that playing Danny Fortson was considered a better alternative 12 years ago.
So when the Mavericks started entertaining the idea of doing this as a way of perusing alternative options in free agency this summer, I was worried.
