Does the Mavs FO
Seriously think that we can contend for a championship as constructed? All year long I've harped and harped on the fact that we need a reliable #2 option who can create in the half court whenever the tempo slows down in the playoffs and it becomes a half court game. We've seen time and time again that Dirk + a bunch of 3's and 4's doesn't work whenever teams key in on him and try to make everyone else beat them..but it seems like they aren't even trying to make a move happen? We need a little size at the wing as our undersized backcourt (jet, barea, beaubois) is probably the only thing keeping us from being an elite defensive team. Why are we not going after stephen jackson or bust? Let's be serious, we have about a 2 year window before Kidd declines and while Dirk will age nicely, it was apparent during his injury just how RELIANT this team is on him. The day Dirk slips up a the tiniest bit and can no longer carry the team on his back all by himself, the very day that he goes from an MVP candidate to just another star like what's happened to Duncan, our window is closed. We owe it to the man to make these last 2 count.
