And Magloire clearly stated that he wants to go to Toronto after his contract expires. And i'm sure that he'd be big here in Canada. And they'd have difficulty matching offers to Magloire when that time comes to. They'd have Nash and his near max. And JJ and Amare with their Maxes. not good.

Phoenix would have Magloire's Bird rights and could match any offer presented to him. They could even offer him a year more than anyone else. But even if it only gives Phoenix a team that beats the pants off us for the next 2 years insuring that we have no chance at a championship, until 3 years from now, I still don't do it.
But nowhere is it written in stone that Nash will be all washed up in 2 years or that even if he is there won't be a replacement for him. And nowhere is it written in stone that Magloire will take less money to go to Toronto. That's all speculation, and just as easily the chemistry with Marion might not work or Marion might have a career ending injury or any number of things.
The point being if you are a team that won 58 games this past season you don't help the team that knocked you out of the playoffs get better than you even if you only believe it will be for 2 years. Mavs have a legit shot at winning it all in the next 2 years, we should be doing things to help that come about not making it harder.
