<< Yea I agree is there anythign u can honestly say Dirk is better than Duncan in? Other than shootin 3's? >>

Shoot free throws. Shoot the mid-range jumper (i.e., shoot, period). Ball handling--when did you ever see Duncan actually run the brake himself?

I'd trade for Duncan myself at this point because the Mavs have 2 all-star perimeter players and so can make up for the fact that from 18' out Duncan is a clear drop-off from Dirk, while from 18' in, where the Mavs are weakest, Duncan is still clearly superior to Dirk.
