We also need a slasher, someone around 6'5 ish and up. and the last thing we need is a couple of lights out 3 point shooters.
Dirk is the only one on this team that can bring us a big man down low who can score. So it's time to sacrifice if we ever want to win a champions hip.
We have a superman team, unfortunately, our kryptonite is the zone.

Tell me this:
What is a big time low post scorer going to do when:
1. he's double teamed half the time before he gets the ball
2. when he gets the ball, he's almost always immediately doubled
and
when he passes, there's never anyone making their way to the bucket other than Diop.
and
when he passes it out, he's passing it on the outside to a group of guys that really aren't all that great at shooting threes with the exception of Terry.
It's not that simple.. unfortunately.
Now, if you add a big time low post scoring threat WITH Dirk, you have something special. But if Dirk was simply a big time low post scoring threat, you'd still have most of the same problems.
