I don't trade Dirk for anyone either.
Shaq is obviously better, but like Hoopsmeister said, Dirk has 10-15 years left, and Shaq could decide to hang it up at any point.
Duncan is the only forward in the league that I can look at and say that he's better than Dirk, but like David noted, he's a finished product. Duncan's not going to get appreciably better. Dirk probably will. And even if he doesn't, I don't really like Duncan and I love Dirk, so pitch that idea out the window. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
As for McGrady, Kobe, and Iverson, I suppose you could argue that any one of those guys was more talented than Dirk. But I don't think you could argue that by inserting them on to the Mavs roster and taking Dirk off that the Mavs would become a better team. In fact, I think it's obvious they would be worse. Plus, give me the freakish 7-footer over the freakish guard any day. Oh, and did I mention that I can't stand any of the three named above?
You can have who you want. Give me Dirk.
