If Dirk's not putting up better numbers than Walker, then the Mavs aren't getting enough contribution from their best player. I really don't think it has anything to do with the MVP voting or anything like that.

Dirk is a more talented player by a decent margin. He needs to perform to that level. If he doesn't, the Mavs are screwed. If he does perform to his capabilities, the gap in statistics between him and Walker will be significant.
See... this is where I think you are wrong. I think Walker has as much potential as Dirk. The question is... will he ever figure out how to use it. Walkers performance against the Lakers in the Staples win rivaled any performance I have seen of Dirk's... but can he do it in the playoffs? that is the question. If so I would say his value is right there with Dirk's
