last time I checked Sheed was better than LaF, who he would be replacing. He's always had the skill, he's just rarely had the resolve.

agreeing with you though, we were probably the worst team last year talent-wise (after LAL, SAC, SAN, POR) and we won based on our sharp play. Thats what is so strange about all these trades- we made it to the WCF with very little overall talent and miniscule depth.

We are undeniably now the deepest team in the league and we have some of the top players (Jamison, Nash, Walker, Nowitzki) but should we have messed with a team that was a 60-22 WCF team last year? Theres just a lot of risk to splitting up that team and adding new threats to our chemistry (like Fort, Walker and now Sheed and Wells).

Of course this is all rediculous as the trade isnt happening....
