There was a scenario in which the Mavs could've acquired Kobe back in 2004 I believe. Who would play the four though? I don't know but I think the Mavs brain trust would've come up with a live body or something but definitely not Dirk.
As for Kobe being a disruption to the chemistry, well he got along well enough with Shaq to grab a few titles. But isn't what Mavs fans want? A few championships, heck just one would be fine for me.
Kobe did buy into Phil Jackson's system during their title run so it's not inconceivable to see Kobe buy into Avery's philosophy.
