07:59 AM ET 12.12 | Acquiring Vince Carter and Lamar Odom has Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle thinking big. "We're going to be a dangerous team and our goal is to mold into, once again, a championship team." ... The Mavs now boast a forward position of 6-foot-7 Shawn Marion, 6-10 Odom and 7-foot Dirk Nowitzki. Carlisle is a big fan. "Right now, for me, having Odom, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, we may have the best forward trio in this league right now. And that's exciting," Carlisle said. "Lamar Odom is a guy we have great respect for as a person and as an all-around player in this league. We feel he's going to add so many different dimensions for us -- length, playmaking, scoring, experience, championship experience."

Carlisle is talking about a front-court trio.He does have a point, since the NBA lacks good centers nowadays.Looks like their front court will be 3 forwards, with one of them pretending to be a center.

He isn't talking about the front court....he is talking about the forward spots....sf and pf

Oh please. Odom has never played to his potential. He's more lazy than Satan. If Dallas thinks they can get that out of him at age 32 they're fooling themselves. Odom is at best a sixth man on a contending team....
