How much step has he lost? Would he actually help this team or would we be throwing away the rest of Dirk's prime on a lousy contract?

You can tell he doesn't have the same strength and quickness as in his prime. He doesn't overpower opponents with his athleticism and strength these days. He's picked up a decent fundamental postgame to make up for it though. That would be a nice asset. I just wouldn't start trading the farm for it. Not mention, with the dire straights that Miami is in, I wouldn't think that you would need to trade the farm to get it. I would think the Van Horn contract (and change) would be enough to get the job done, but if that Marion deal is legit I guess I could be wrong on that one.
