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.

Agreed. My earlier points were that Dallas needs a low post threat to play with Dirk. I don't think we have to have a superstar low post player. We just need someone capable of punishing a zone when that zone doubles Dirk. We need someone capable of punishing the Heat when Zo doubles on Dirk and ignores the paint. A role player about 6'10" or taller who can score in the low post and rebound and play average defense would set the Mavs up for nearly invincible season.
