First off, my thread title is a bit of wishful thinking and a bit of a guess. However, it has been discussed that due to off season acquisitions it may be difficult for Babb to make the Celtics roster for this upcoming season. With that said, I think Dallas could be a POTENTIAL landing spot for Babb should Boston not pan out for him this year.
Dallas basically has two slots left on their roster. After they use their 2.7 million mid level exception on a player that can play both the 3 & 4 they will have one slot left. After that, Dallas has no cap money left and will have to pay the minimum salary regardless of who they sign for their final roster. The remaining spot must, according to need, go to a player that is a shooting guard with the ability to defend and possibly play the three as well. Babb fits this need from a cost perspective, his family is in Dallas (Dad owns BBQ place one half mile from American Airlines Arena), he has the defensive skills as well as the ability to shoot which Dallas needs for this role.
He is light on experience for this role, but I think would fit well with Rick Carlyle's coaching style and is a low pay, low risk addition that likely could bounce back and forth from the NBADL to the a Mavs roster for next season. I know this is pure speculation but it could be an ideal fit for him. Thoughts?
