If anything, I think he might enjoy not having to be "the man." He certainly was all too happy to have Antione back to take some of the load off his shoulders.

his game is so much like stackhouse's anyway it's not even funny. the only difference is pierce younger with more explosiveness.

Nonsense. Pierce can shoot.

pierce is a career 44% fg shooter, and stackhouse is 41%. i will give you that pierce is overall a slightly better shooter, but that doesn't change their game. they both dominate the ball, try to get to the free throw line, and become obsessed with the fadeaway. stackhouse isn't exactly a bad shooter anyway. i'm not opposed to dirk having a very good complimentary player, i'm just saying i don't feel that pierce is the kind of guy that is accepting to a complimentary role.
