I think Bass brings slightly more athletisism than BBD does, but Baby gives you more overall talent.  Coming into this season with confidence, I fully expect to see a BBD who can handle the ball, make good decisions, hit shots, rebounds, and score in the paint.  He hits the O boards hard too.  Bass is more of a hustle guy that got a lot of minutes on a thin Dallas frontcourt.  I don't think it makes that much sense to pursue him unless BBD gets a huge deal and there isn't much else out there.  If Powe re-signs we have all the thick stalky bodies we need.  We need some height and some talent.  I just don't really see Bass bringing that based on what I've seen of him so far.
