This is the way to go. Howard could be sufficiently replaced in time. Surround Dirk and KG/O'Neal with shooters and slashers over the next few offseasons and the Mavs would strongly contend every year. I just hope Cuban doesn't read this thread.
Can Paul Pierce be had with any combo of Dallas players outside Dirk ? Dirk & Pierce duo should be a potential playoff combo IMHO, as both will cover each other weaknesses, and their age is about even (both are in their peak age).
AFAIK, Pierce's a good post up big guard, and Dirk should be lethal when he doesn't have to be the MAN in the 4th.

Pau Gosal is a very underrated player.
But I don't think they'll get rid of Dirk
They need a good player, but a good player with ballz ; Jason Kidd would be good
Yeah I don't think Gasol and Dirk would be the greatest fit. Too soft in the interior and considering how much Dallas would have to give up. If Dallas traded Dirk for Gasol I don't like it. Dirk is clearly the better player. Gasol has yet to win a playoff game.
Had the Mavs played anyone else in the first round (even if they had played the Suns or Spurs), Dirk would have had a great series.
This is just kneejerk reaction.
I see.. you are a sucker for that Finger's post.. How can you freaking compare DRob to Dirk NoWINski..
instead of trading for brand, why not try and get kaman from the clippers...a decent pick-up IMO, he can at least finish around the basket consistanly unlike our big men....harris + damp for kaman + filler i think would get it done
you may be a Spursfan from the Phils but you cannot tell me what to say or do.
did I say they're equally good? Of course David is better than Dork.He was a DPOY. And MVP. But I only try to remind some that it took long for David to win a le and still S.A. didn't lose confidence in him. Dirk might too.
kung wala ka lang masabi na maganda, okay?
Great post ! Let's keep bashing them ! I also remember how many Mav fans on the forum and in person kept telling me the Spurs were too old and the mavs were the future......I remember Mav fans on here last season proclaiming how the Spurs reign is over. How the Mavs are younger, and that last season was only the beginning of a reign that was sure to bring home a championship or multiple championships to Dallas.
Now after suffering the biggest upset in NBA history, their master plan has disintegrated quicker than Laker fan boxing up his car flags in his garage.
Yeah, this collapse might be the death of this team and Mav Fans know it. They are already calling for Dirk's head on a platter and some want his MVP award fedexed to Minnesota.
Cuban was considering selling his team last season. I wonder what's running through his head right now. The Pirates have some young talent, maybe he will return home and give baseball a try.
Jason Terry's game was exposed. He is a punk and deserves this summer as much as anyone.
Dirk and the Mavs have layed a huge sandwitch and every Mav Fan will have to take a bite. Before becoming Big Talker, Betty Crocker, you should win one championship first.
And yes, I'm stillat your debacle. It made my weekend.

When Dirk is holding the Larry trophy come mid june...you will enjoy this thread.

I doubt Tim Duncan will appreciate it very much if Dirk holds the trophy in mid-June--after all--as an organization, the Spurs allow the fans to come and take a picture with the trophy for a modest contribution to the Spurs foundation after they win a championship.
Dirk will have to wait his turn...
We --the fans--get to take our picture with the trophy in mid-June.
Dirk will have to wait until August.
And his fee will be higher.

bass was a stud.... he was a large part of the reason the mavs even made it a game in the 4th.
Bass was good and Oberto can't defend.
nice bump
You are the definition of a bandwagon fan.
And Bonner can't eather Defend or Score,that's even worst.
Plus Oberto can hit some wicked 3's.
Oberto > Bonner, but don't fool yourself about his D.
tbh this actually wasn't a bad take at the time. His playoff series vs Golden State was by far his worst and the definition of a 'choke job'. It's the only time I'd say he actually choked in his career. I actually rewatched a few games from that series last year, and he was bricking one open jumpshot after another, turnstile on defense, etc. It was pretty evident that the "first team to lose to an 8th seed" mantra was getting in his head too. Also, had a few PR gaffes from what I remember. I believe when they were down 2-1 he said something like "if we lose Game 4 this series is pretty much over"....and then they went on to lose game 4.
He had good playoff success in the Nash/Finley days but wanting to cut ties from Dirk after 2007 was reasonable IMO since we were starting to see him as the head and shoulders leader of the team for the first time. Plus, it's rare to see a superstar completely bounce back like he did after a notable chokejob in the playoffs.
true, things were bad at that time.
funny how this turned out to be the thing that completely changed dirk and the perception of him. it went from dirk being the reason they were losing (because avery was horribly misusing his talents), to him singlehandedly dominating series and exposing how bad the rosters were
i really wonder what kind of ridiculous stats dirk could have put up in his prime if it wasnt for averys horrible offenses. looking back, theres no reason that dirks best scoring average ever was 26.6. he should have had multiple seasons flirting with 30ppg.
Damn Dirk gave up 200 mill in his career to end it playing with Rondo
