I totally agree with Samoan. You can't separate the success of the last few years from Dirk. And he is much more than just a great player. He is a symbol of the new mavs. I guess about 500 of the members in this forum are dirk fans and will be strongly opposed to trading dirk. Brand maybe better in various aspects of the game but he is not compared to duncan and KG or Larry Bird. If Dirk goes, all the fun of watching the mavs will go as well. The run and gun. The 3-pointers. The Nash and Dirk story. And eventually the succes as well.
