But now, Harris is playing one, Terry will be(I assume) playing a bit more of a 2 type, Howard as clearly surpassed Finley as a 3. What happens when Harris, though having his share of "rookie games", does wonderfully earning himself the starter spot at the one and JT performs well as a slashing samll 2 while Howard does his usual stat sheet filling thing...all three playing good defense and still making sure Dirk goes for 23 and 8 a night. Now, I think this might be a good problem to have(considering the frequency of injuries), but what happens when Max contract and "heart of the team" Finley declares himself 100%, new contract Daniels' ankle is ready to go, and Stack is feeling up to winning himself that sixth man of the year award? I would love to pretend like I have the answers...but right now, all I got is questions. All that being said, I am hopeful that all will work out well and have not been this excited about a Mavs season...maybe since the late 80's

It's a valid concern, but if we win it won't matter. Winning cures all ills and even if it doesn't, not many players have to balls to bitch on a winning team. If we losing they can bitch with the immunity of “I just want to help the team win”.
Bottom-line, Nellie makes 5MM a year to make it work. I just get the feeling that players bitching about playing time have never bothered him.
