The Texas Two Step

San Antonio Spurs

Tiago Splitter3.8
Aron Baynes3.2

Marco Belinelli0.2

LaMarcus Aldridge6.5
David West0.6

Net Gain/Loss-3.3

The numbers lie when it comes to the Spurs -- but don't they always? The Spurs have yet to round out their roster and there may be no proper way of putting a number on everything that David West and LaMarcus Aldridge bring to San Antonio. Oh, and their starting forward-center lineup finished last season with a combined nERD of 26.2.

Dallas Mavericks

DeparturesnERD
Tyson Chandler10.6
Amare Stoudemire2.3
Al-Farouq Aminu1.2
Monta Ellis-4.8
Rajon Rondo-5.1
Total4.2
Additions 
DeAndre Jordan14.1
Wesley Matthews4.6
Total18.7
Net Gain/Loss+14.5

When looking at the numbers, the Mavericks are the biggest winners. After losing Tyson Chandler and his impressive nERD of 10.6, the combination of adding his replacement DeAndre Jordan and dropping the inefficient Rajon Rondo and Monta Ellis, the Mavs more than break even.
