Correct, but contrary to what some would imply, winning another championship can happen after Dirk's prime with the right moves and the right fortuity. The front office can't simply assume--as some folks would apparently have them do--that the Mavs' championship window is closed for a long time once Dirk slips.

I agree.

The insistance that the front office did not and that you're an idiot if you believe otherwise has gone a long way to perpetuate this argument at d-m.com.

Hey, you don't have to tell me this. This is how I think about pretty much everything
That said, there is a clear difference between disagreeing with someone's ultimate opinion on an issue and calling him an idiot, versus recognizing that he's offered objectively poor reasons in support. There's some of the former going on, but there's also plenty of the latter being mistaken for the former.
