I actually live in San Francisco. I'm a Warriors fan apart from being a Mavs fan and I totally think that the Mavs got away with murder on this one. I'm overjoyed that the Mavs got a kick ass forward scorer/rebounder. But at the same time, I'm now stuck attending NBA games where I have to watch Nick score, JRich miss shots and Dunleavy to look lost. I have to live with Troy Murphy being a scoring threat.

Jamison is NOT a superstar. He's an awesome player. He can't carry a team but he CAN and WILL contribute heavily. Why should it matter if Jamison can take over ? That role, by all accounts, belongs to Dirk first, Nash second and maybe even Fin 3rd. Just having a 4th player that can score 20 a game relieves the NEED to be clutch. Hell, by having Jamison, the Mavs finally have a fourth threat in scoring and a 2nd great rebounder WITHOUT harming the integrity of the lineup by playing ridiculously undersized.

Anyone in the SF Bay who can wholeheartedly justify this trade is strongly in denial.
