I think Pierce would be a good fit here. If pierce were willing to be the second star not the go to guy. Besdes trading Howard for Dirk would be very hard to do. Howard hasn't done anything yet as a pro. Dirk did finish third in the MVP voting and was a first team all nba player. Something that Kobe, KG, and Lebron were not. Lebron is great but he hasn't proven anything yet, to be considered a great player you have to make the playoffs. I would take Kobe and T-Mac over Lebron right now.

Once Dirk is able to destroy guys like T-Mac and Lebron no one in the league can guard him.

I don't buy the dynamic duo theory. The Spurs have one superstar and great role players like Robert Horry and Nazr Mohammed. The Detroit Pistons are one of the most complete teams in basketball and yet they have no superstars on the floor.
