the mavs big five simply aren't going to average over 100 points..which, they'd do if they reached their scoring output from last year.

you don't just say...
trade jamison for wallace
losing jamison means -20 points per game for the mavs
adding wallace means + 7 points per game for the mavs

you don't come up with the mavs scoring 13 points less than they otherwise would have... you can bet that wallace will hit around 50% of his putbacks..and you can bet that finley, walker, nash, and dirk would all get more attempts per game.

and no, you wouldn't say
trade jamison -7 rebounds per game
add wallce +15.4 rebounds for the game for the mavs..

It's not a net result of +8.4 rebounds for the mavs.

and no, bogey...trust me, i know this wasn't what you were implying.

however, how much would any of you actually expect the mavs offense to suffer? How much would it hurt the mavs offense to have only 4 great scoring options instead of five...especially since the scoring option that they added is better than the 4th option they had last year when the mavs led the league in scoring..
