I'm sayin trade Dirk...
You got any respect for dude whatsoever, put him in a position where he can get a ring... I don't see that happening here...
How close do you think this team really is? If you think it's one player, who is it? Gotta consider they'd be looking at dumping Howard plus one of Dampier/Stackhouse, and who knows whether or not Kidd will be back...
Another top flight scorer is a MUST HAVE... They've got to find someone to take the pressure of the full scoring load off Dirk if they're gonna keep him... Terry and Howard are fine, but they're #3 guys at best, IMO... Can't have those guys as your #2... Terry is too streaky, Howard is unreliable...
Do you take a shot with Iverson on a make-good deal? Does he take that deal? Do you offer Artest the MLE, depending on what else is out there for him?
I just don't see who puts this team over the top...
Italics: I honestly think Dirk would be better suited as a number 2 option. For instance, Dirk + Wade =
Or at the very least, paired with another #2 guy who is on his level (as far as scoring). For instance, Dirk + Kevin Martin =
Do you think if the Heat wanted Dirk, an offer of Beas, James Jones, and Haslem would be a fair trade? (The contracts match up). I don't know if Miamiwould be willing to part with Mike. But Riley supposedly was never really enamored with him. Miami would have a lineup of Charmers, Wade, Moon, Dirk, JO'Neal. Not bad. But not championship either. So more moves (via draft and FA) would definitely have to be made. Dallas on the other hand would acquireBeasley and start the process of rebuilding.
As far as the Kings... A trade of Kenny Thomas, Nocioni, and Jason Thompson for Dirk matches up. But why would Dallas want those guys? (Thompson DOES havepotential and Nocioni is Dirk extra-lite, but still).
I don't know... I just don't like the idea of trading Dirk.
He definitely needs another scorer alongside him. A pg like Carlos Arroyo who would come cheaper than Kidd and can do the same job as Kidd + a bonafideslashing/scoring SG or SF is all Dallas needs.
GET RID OF JOSH!!!
