Another year (at least) wasted of Dirk's prime.
It's a big gamble. If it doesn't work, this year is shot. And we'll be looking for another point guard next year (and who else would be gone to get AI's replacement if it tanks?). And next year's remaining mavericks players will be pissed and frustrated that they lost some good teammates and ticked at the front office who would have shown that they don't trust them to get it done without outside help. And the fans will all be bitching and moaning about Cuban the idiot who threw away a perfectly good year on a gamble for a known lockerroom cancer, and looking at 07-08 as a complete rebuilding year - because he was too antsy after an expected so-so start to the 2006 year.
not saying that will happen - just pointing out that there is a downside that is ugly.
