Nellie's offense and the versatility of the players he acquires makes the situation more favorable with or without your best player in the game. Countless Mavs players can play 2 or 3 spots in the lineup and there is still somewhat of an established order amongst the rotation. Wang has shown in Dirk's absence that he is probably worth everything the Mavs can do to keep him here, which I think he will.

How likely is Bradley, Esch, Avery, Manning or Tariq(injured) to complain? Nick and Raef are newcomers who has been rescued from Denver and been on their best behavior and the Big 3 practically define harmony. The rest of our scrappers all come out like pitbulls when given the chance and enjoy making the other teams nights miserable. The Mavs have two of the best shooting/ball handler/distributors in Nash and Van Exel. Damon Stoudamire pales in comparison to either, in my opinion, and it shows in their team cohesion. Kings fans are probably questioning the quality of their point guard play tonight also when they see our latest addition and our All-Star beating everyone they put on them.
