Odom, Grant and Butler and future first rounder don't come close to equal one Shaq. I admire your loyalty to Dirk but if beefing up your front was your main objective why have you passed up on so many free agents. Don't tell you are still trying to get Dampier? Why haven't worked some magic to get Martin? The good about the Shaq trade is one less team you have to compete with in the West. Dallas has talent but lacks the intangibles, the biggest problem is the coach. I think things are looking up in big D. If keeping Dirk was one of your main objectives surround him with players that will make up for his soft play. Good Luck. Mark I know it had to be crushing when you found out about the Shaq trade.

Dude, they traded G.O.A.T. for odom, grant, butler. Obviously the talent level isn't close to the same and it's not like their getting expiring contracts or anything. MC has gotta be a smart businessman to be in the position he is in. Maybe he starting to lay off giving huge contracts espically since the luxury tax is in effect which gots to hurt. Plus MC's got a point about Nash gettin tired since it always seems like he's running on fumes by playoff time. So while we're all use to playing fantasy bball teams, MC's gets the real deal and I wouldn't want to trade places with him one bit, since mistakes cost him millions of dollars. I just kinda think we shouldn't attack MC for his decisions at a personal level. Of course complaining is what we all love to do, but we can do it in a more dignified fashion. Well this is a comment so u can all wish me to hell. Peace A Shaq fan and therefore a Heat fan now (though I'd rather be a Laker fan (dam them)) There isn’t any way the Lakers were gonna trade Shaq to a western conference team.

You should be applauded Mark. I wish that my Sixers would be as upfront about its dealings. Such as why pay Brian Skinner 35 million? Eeek, I wish we had anyone from your team. Keep up the great work! Finally, some honesty in the NBA and the world of sports in general. You should be applauded Mark. I wish that my Sixers would be as upfront about its dealings.

I watched him play for Wisconsin and completely clean up our team. Needless to say he is a complete and RARE FOUR YEAR COLLEGE player. ... Too bad we couldn't have moved up in the draft to select a HIGH SCHOOLER. ugh. - Brian Devin might be a rookie but I think he will be able to really play rather soon.

Steve Nash is one of the reasons the Mavs were one of the worst defensive teams last year. Look at opponents 3PT FG% and tell me Nash isnt responsible for half of it. A hard time without Steve?

Dirk IS a 4, and an underrated help defender. Kenyon is really a 4, too, but you could certainly be play them together as the 4-5 combo and have the best combo in the league. Dirk's only problem on D is his foot speed. Kenyon offers more of that than Shaq, plus he would not take the ball out of Dirk's hands on the other end as much as Shaq would. I know we can come up with a better sign and trade offer than the ones the media has pumped out. Also, offer exiring contracts for a bad contract plus Dalembert. He would do wonders for us, but he is not enough to make a difference on the team he plays for now. Yeah, I agree with J.R, to a degree. Dirk IS a 4, and an underrated help defender.
