Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle has made it clear that they need Samuel Dalembert in order for the team to succeed but at this point in time, Dalembert's conditioning is holding him back.
“I just told him in front of the whole team that he’s got to keep working,” said Carlisle, who mentioned Dalembert’s conditioning issues to the media without a question being asked about the center. “We need his minutes. They’re going to be very important to us. He’s a factor. When he’s in shape, he’s a factor as a rim protector and rebounder, and he gives you a big, active, athletic body in there.”
Dalembert responded with the following:
“It’s not that,” said Dalembert, who was fighting a relatively serious case of the sniffles. “The main thing that happened to me is I got hurt. I got hurt in the first practice of camp. Stupid me, my pride takes over and I wanted to practice. I didn’t want to take off, so that kind of slowed me down a little bit.”

Don't know wat happened n milwalkee but I always thought he was a underrated center, capable of a double double on any night. If he's got anything left n the tank Carlisle will get it out of him
