Ironically, the ideal choice for a backup to Dirk along with a better defensive center is Chris Kaman, who could backup both positions and is very effective offensively while having the same basic defensive shortcomings as Dirk. If they really wanted a Dirk light, a healthy Troy Murphy was close enough but were better with a little diversity IMHO - Wright and Blair, who can get some points and offensive rebounds inside. Otherwise, run more of the offense through the Matrix when hes backing up Dirk. He can still score inside or out.
