What ever happened to the Nick Van Exel argument. That group-thought was clustered everywhere on the D-M.com board a few years ago.

The argument was like this:
a) We have dirk and a winning team
b) We aquire maligned players with talent for pennies on the dollar
c) They find new life with the Mavs and we get good talent on the cheap.

Seemed like everybody that fell into DNPs or fell into ESPN's dumpster list was one of those magic guys that could reinvent themselves in Dallas. Suddenly this board thinks the complete opposite and somehow thinks we can put together a championship roster with guys that are at the peak of their ability and league popularity. I think Donnie made a very sound argument in defense of Gooden (see DB.com), and Dirno made a hell of a nice argument for Thomas in the Thomas thread. I dont know, its just strange how far the pendulum has swung.
