And why does Dirk need to develop his own Passing game? The team won 60 games last year for crying out loud. They won it NOT By Dirk's "passing game" but by his SHOOTING GAME which is what we really Miss right now. I don't think you were even thinking about Dirk's passing while you were(along with other Mavs fans) on that magical 60-win ride last season....

Actually, a lot of Mavs fans talked about Dirk's passing and how it could improve and was improving. He averaged 3 assists per last year, and he would average more if given the opportunity.

It seems that only NOW that we have Walker on the team who is a very good passer, you feel like Walker is showing up Dirk by being a better(yes...BETTER) passer than him.

This is a pretty weak argument. Charlie Brown is in favor of Dirk having the ball more often late in games because he's the best player (and scorer) on the team, not because he's mad Dirk's being shown up. Sheesh.

OH and what about Rebounding? How many boards did Dirk average Last season? I'll bet it wasn't close to what Walker is averaging now, is it?

Try it. All you have to do is click on "Players," and then type "Nowitzki". Click on his name, and it'll bring up the stats for you.

Do better than this. Dirk is undeniably a better player than Walker.

At least Walker FINISHES most of the time around the basket and doesn't miss a TRILLION tip-ins after getting an offensive rebound....OR when he gets the offensive rebound he brings back outside to Nash to re-set the offense...

I like Walker a lot, but have you watched him this season? He hasn't been finishing all that well.
I think Walker fits in on this team pretty well, and I want to keep him around, so I generally agree with your position. I just don't think you're going to support your position by comparing Walker to Dirk.
