I think Cuban would then calmly explain to Dirk that it is hard to trade a soon to be 30-year-old pussy whose game is clearly on the decline. Dirk and his game peaked last year, but his decline started last year in the playoffs against Golden State at the hands of Stephen Jackson. This past season Dirk was not as effective as he has been in past seasons and in that first playoff game against New Orleans he let that Hornet player humiliate him by repeatedly poking his finger in Dirk's neck as he verbally abused him. Dirk---and the Mavericks--have not been the same since that ass whopping they got against Golden Sate last year.
