Porter and Kerr are doing everything they can to accommodate Shaq and make things as easy for him as possible, no matter how miserable the rest of the team is because of it. He's not going anywhere.
Agree, Amare isn't even that young. What you see is what you get. He's 26, he's not gonna get any better, and he's not "that' impressive to begin with regarding franchise players.
You cannot build a le around Amare, you probably can't around Dirk either, but the odds are better.
Quite frankly there's only 4-5 players you "can" build a le around barring a fluke like the 2004 Pistons.
Dirk improved by leaps and bounds from 26 to 29. He's regressed a tad from that prime now that he's in his 30's, but to say Amare can't improve anymore at 26 is stupid, cuz Dirk did exactly that.
Amare needs a back to the basket game. Unless Dallas gets STAT, J-Rich and a first(Or two), I wouldn't do it. Shaq kicking to Dirk is a scary thought.
all we need is pre-cocaine roy tarpley.
True, still dont see any superduperstar potential in him.
If the Mavs are serious about winning a le they can either learn how to hit a bunch of fluky bull jumpers come playoff time, or not look toward 2010, look toward 2015. Lebron is winning the next 6 championships no matter what, you might as well acquire a slew of draft picks and hope to get the next "superduperstar", cause all the current young players with superduper potential are not coming to Dallas (D-Whistle, Howard, Paul, Lebron).
why wouldn't paul sign with dallas?
He has a long contract with the Hornets.
Not that it matters anyway, at the end of the day, no team led by a 5'11 midget flopping point guard who defers to Jannero ing Pargo in quarter 4 of game 7 will ever win a championship.
You guys can have as many of our draft picks as you want. It's not like we ever do anything with them.
Amare has regressed slightly this year because Porter doesn't see him as "The Man" like D'Antoni did. Put him on a team like Dallas, where he's light years ahead of Dampier offensively, and he'll put up about 26 points a game for you guys.
Ah yes, another NBA rumor to give Mavsfans some hope.
Shaq paired up with Dirk and Kidd. How much older and fossilized would this team be? It is intriguing however. Shaq and Dirk would make an interesting combo.
But then that's just it. It's the Dallas Fantasy Island Mavericks. If you wish it hard enough and click your heels three times it'll still never happen.
Where's Rogue to put this sucker in his place?!
The 2nd round virgins giving us lip, pshhh. 2 rings? All Hakeem did was hit a bunch of fluky bull jumpers while Jordan was taking a break, big deal. No skill required to do that.
You're not the chosen brother, Eli. It was Paul who was chosen. You see, he found me and told me about your land. You're just a fool.Ah yes, another NBA rumor to give Mavsfans some hope.

LMAO tmac
LMAO 1st round
Only 2 pages to turn into Mavs/Rockets -talking! YES!
This never gets old. C'mon, Inda!
Our beloved Mavs fanbase, when your heart weeps at our transition from contenders to mediocrity, stand strong. And when it bothers you, recite:
Devin Harris will not be forgotten
The glory of the Mavericks shall soon be restored
Jason Kidd will thread the needle but strike his wife twice as hard if hit
Dirk Nowitzki is the best power forward in basketbal
The 2006 Finals were rigged and D-Whistle just hit some fluky bull jumpshots
All the Warriors did was hit some fluky bull jumpers
Down with the Spurs
Down with the Rockets
Down with the Hornets
Down with the Lakers
Down with the Celtics
Down with the Warriors
Down with the Nets
Down with Bennett Salvatore and David Stern
The Mavs are victorious
The NBA is defeated
Josh Howard and Amare are two prime examples of guys with worlds of talent and ty at udes holding them back. Only Isiah Thomas would pull the trigger on a trade to put them together in a locker room
I disagree that Josh Howard has worlds of talent. At his VERY VERY best, he's just a borderline reserve all star.
T-Mac, if you click your heels three times you might end up in the second....Ah yes, another NBA rumor to give Mavsfans some hope.

thats still not bad, and when you say VERY VERY best you sound like he played only a few games at an all star level over his carrer. he played a whole season like that but now he just needs a change of scenery
Imagine if DAL had kept Harris and traded Howard for Shaq.
Dirk
Shaq
Harris
Not a bad trio right there.
There really is a Willy Wonka and soon there will be an appearance of some Oompa Loompa's at a stadium near you.
Now why would Kerr trade the one player in Phoenix who has been the most consistent?
