Isn't Dirk a good enough shooter for the Mavericks? Finley is also an excellent perimeter shooter, Nash had them all beat but MOVING ON... The Mavericks need DEFENSE and TOUGHNESS. They do not need "some steals".
FilthyFin ^ I'm with you. I'd take Tayshaun in a heartbeat over Peja. Ron would also be an easy nod over Peja. Shawn Marion is an excellent talent, but I don't know if he's a clear nod over Peja... at least for the Mavs.
Peja Stojakovic is a scorer...
That is all! Those 6 rebounds fall into his hands when guys like Chris Webber ride the pine all year. And being 6'10" probably means that 1 offensive board per game SHOWS YOUR LACK OF INSIDE TOUGHNESS. I mean honestly, if it were up to some of the people on this board your starting 5 would consist of any of the following
Ray Allen
Peja Stojakovic
Reggie Miller
Steve Nash
Dirk Nowitzki
Fred Hoiberg
and if they were still playing/alive
Maravich
Bird
Kerr
Mullin
Does anybody see the similarities? Oh yeah and there isn't a center in the mix either hmmm.
The Dallas Mavericks do not need Peja. Personally I wouldn't give up Josh Howard in a deal for him: which some ppl proposed.
And is it just me, or are RealGM's stats a bit dated? Peja 8.6ppg???

Wow. It's funny you brought up Josh Howard because that's a guy I wanted to bring up but I didn't because I didn't think anyone would understand. It's clear that Peja is better than the above but the guys like Josh, Marion, Artest etc. fill needs. They make the Mavs a better team. Peja helps us average more points a game and give up even more.

I missed that earlier but now that I read it I get a good laugh out of it.
