I'm in agreement with you Murph about Dirk. I think Dirk would have the chance to have the ball in his hands more if he played with a point guard who wasn't as aggressive as Nash. I think Dirk could EASILY average 26 points, very easily. As far as Fin, well he's the two years he played as the number one option he averaged more than 20 points in both of those years and last year with Nash being a big part of the offense and this year Fin's numbers have declined so I'd have to believe that Nash takes away from other's offense but that's not a bad thing because this team is one of the best in the Western Conference right now.

So I don't think they rely on Nash as much as them being on the court has enabled Nash to do his thing. Just my opinion though. That's why I'm always a little skeptical about saying Nash is the #1 option always. On a particular night when he's on, hell yes, but if it were up to me, I'd say DIRK first then I'd go with Nash or Fin depending upon whose on.
