I agree 100% David, which is way I still think the NY deal is ok, both teams improve(maybe, NVE is a huge upgrade over Ward, not sure about the Mavs though), and everybody is happy. The Mavs do need a 2nd-tier PG but I hope it isn't Charlie Ward, what the Mavs need is a PG who is slowly declining but still can produce like a Derek Fisher or Mookie Blaylock. Of course NVE is a better starter then back-up BUT he would still be the best back-up in the league, which is one of the reasons why I don't think the Mavs want to part with him so quickly. If he does come back you might as well hand him the 6th man trophey at the beginning of the season, this year's 6th Man OTY Corliss Williamson had seven 20+ games this season, NVE had 5 in 8 days. Even though NVE has said he would like to come back and win 6th man, he is starter and deserves to be one, i'm just not sure if Nellie will be able to part ways.
