I know everybody thinks dirk is the man, but I have not seen this. He is no Shaq, Duncan, or Garnett. He is a very, very, good player, but not an elite player. It is very possible that tmac is an elite player. Dirk might be but I have not seen it with any consistantsy as of yet.

I would love to put tmac, dirk, and daniels on the floor and see what happens? Certainly, we would need some excellent defensive players around them, but that is nothing new. I think Howard and Najera would help out, plus whatever else we could pick up.

It seems to me, that if I were a defensive, rebounding center, this is where I would DESIRE to play.

Dallas would be young and very, very talented. That is something to build on. I just believe the mavs should look at the future now.

As far as getting a new coach. GO FOR IT. Get a great defensive coach. The offense WILL take care of itself. I would not like to see a team like Detroit in here but this might be the formula for a championship.

I would even look into trading Jamison for a decent center and possibly a role player. 2 for 1.
