Ok, maybe not. But almost.
Well, he seems like the kind of guy to do something like that. He needs to be a major "second piece leader". Knowing that he could defer to Tim and Tony and Manu would be huge for him and would allow him just to play.

Could easily happen.
Ah, the backhanded compliment. Dirk is much better than either Tony or Manu, much much better than you give him credit for.
I am a huge fan of Dirk. I would trade Manu for Dirk right now. But I feel all things considered, Tony is better and so is Tim, so he would be "second fiddle". Which could be good for him. Some players are not "floor leaders", does not mean they are not great players.
Wow. You may be the only person alive who thinks Tony Parker is a better basketball player than Dirk Nowitzki.
It's not like there's a shortage of re s in the world. I bet he's trade manu because he's still mad about him not believing in god

Seriously, there are some stupid things said on this board, but that is kind of taking it to another level.
Meh, some laker fan thinks kobe was the best player since 2000. There's an asshat fan on every team pretty much.
Not surprisingly, the first post currently on Cuban's blog is about the Cubs. Somebody tell him his beloved Mavs need some attention...
What is wrong with saying Tony is better than Dirk when Dirk would become a Spur? I said all things considered; meaning that Tony is much younger and will be the one presumably leading the Spurs by that point or up there with Tim.
Ya, it is so outlandish to say a finals MVP is better than Dirk. Get off the horse.
It just makes you sound like an idiot. I'd still take a 32-yr-old Dirk than a 28-yr-old Parker.
That Finals MVP means about as much as your typical Super Bowl MVP. Tony Parker is a very good player who looks better than he really is because of Tim Duncan. The idea that he could be a franchise player or have that kind of performance against Cleveland without Tim is laughable.Ya, it is so outlandish to say a finals a Finals MVP is better than Dirk.

This is because neither he, or Donnie, know what the they're doing with this franchise. Donnie is like Howard Hughes now. We haven't seen or heard from the guy in months and when he does speak, it's total bull .
this.
Ya because I bet every team in the league when asked would say they would rather have dirk than TP.
You are making it seem like I am saying Dirk sucks. Not true. Good to know that you are the one that determines worth of the awards handed out; talk about sounding like an idiot. Trying to devalue the Finals MVP. People often say that legends are made in the finals, when it is all on the line, not the regualr season. Finals MVP is just as good as regular season MVP imo. It means you came up biggest when it mattered the most. Ask Dirk which he would rather have.
he's my favourite non-spurs player
Every coach would take Dirk. Just about every GM would take Dirk. I'm sure when TP is 30 and Dirk is 34, your boy will be the more desirable player. But that's certainly not true now and I doubt it will be in 2010.Ya because I bet every team in the league when asked would say they would rather have dirk than TP
Definitely not true now, I was saying in 2010. It could be argued, especially if Tony keeps progressing as he has. To say I am an idiot for suggesting it is off-base.
No, to say that is pretty straight on considering the only people who would say that are Spur homers like yourself.
Does anybody have one of those shot charts for Tony Parker? He shoots a very high % from the floor, and I'm willing to bet that's on dribble penetration. I've never thought of him as having a reliable jumper.
well dirk is a shooter, i think he'll still as good in two years.
Yep. Much like Duncan, Dirk's game relies on skill, rather than athleticism.
Reliable is the right term. It is respectable enough that teams have to respect it somewhat. Teams do try and game plan to make him a shooter (go under on pick and roll) but he has thwarted that many times. Here is his sweet spot chart, it shows he is a pretty good shooter outside the paint.

I think he has more than 2 good years. But I think Tony, has a skill set (on both ends) that is better than Dirks will be in 2 years. TP should be in his prime. Dirk will still be very, very good. Just do not think that at that point in time he can be the man. Especially if he was on the Spurs, which is what I was talking about.
He'll lose some quickness and agility as he gets older, and like all guys once they get into their mid to late thirties, he'll be more susceptible to injuries. But as long as he can shoot, he'll have value to a team. He won't be getting any shorter, so he'll still be able to shoot over guys with that high release point.
