Here is the number 1 problem with playing bass at the 3 and having JHo at 2.

Kidd- not quick enough to guard his position
Jho- not quick enough to guard his new position
Bass- not quick enough to guard his position
Dirk- barely quick enough to guard his positin
Gortat- probably quick enough

We can only compensate for slow feet at so many positions on the court, and Dirk is usually one of them. Things could get really ugly in terms of man-to-man defense, but we would be the best rebounding team in the league, BAR NONE!

I was a huge proponent of playing Bass at the 3, especially with how unorthodox our all-world 4 is. Bass is 3 on defense and 4 on offense and Dirk is the opposite. However, if we don't trade Jho for a real 2-guard, then we will be too slow at almost every position on the court. In a vacuum, Bass and Dirk seems like a good 3-4 combo. I'm just not convinced any longer that it's a good fit with our roster.

somehow i just cant picture bass spotting up for a three pointer. maybe he can shoot the three ball? i dunno but i cant remember ever seeing him try one. a good sf needs to be able to stretch the floor.

Offense isn't the problem. Our 4 stretches the floor, so it isn't necessary from the three. Dirk would play 4 on defense and 3 on offense. Bass would be the 3 on defense and 4 on offense. That's the only way it would work, and there is an outside chance it could if our 1 & 2 could guard their positions.
