That's true, but unfortunately they were against crappy teams. He just wasn't as effective against good teams. If Stoudemire bolts, then I'd like to have him back. He'll be cheap unless some GM goes bananas.
In many ways, the first two months of the season hurt the Mavs because of how terrible the competition was. The team never really learned how to build true chemistry against the teams that mattered. Beating the Sixers by 50 points doesn't do your team any favors.
