Trade talks with Minnesota have progressed to the point where it's time to start speculating about how Al Jefferson would fit with the Mavs. He'd be by far the best low-post scorer the Mavs have had during the Dirk era. He'd fill the Mavs' need for quality depth at power forward and center. What would his role be? How about a Roy Tarpley-like sixth man? Jefferson's game is different than the shoulda-been Mavs great, but he could be the same type of beast big off the bench. The Mavs are committed to Brendan Haywood as the starter at center. There obviously isn't an opening at starting power forward. http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4670061/jefferson-as-mavs-sixth-man
