Bosh just turned 26. Nowitzki is 32 or 33. I'm far less inclined to drop heavy assets into a trade for an aging super star when I could use those same assets in a trade for a guy whos just as good entering his prime.
Obviously a trade for Dirk is hypothetical considering Cuban would never let it happen. But I like Bosh for his better youth, athleticism,and rebounding. So I agree that Bosh is definitely the preferable trade. That said, Dirk is definitely the superior scorer and the more playoff seasoned. If we want to win a title in 2011, I would rather have Dirk than Bosh.
To Houston: Dirk Nowitzki To Dallas: Luis Scola (S&T), Tony Parker, 1st Rnd draft pick from HOU To San Antonio: Shane Battier, Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill Our lineup: Brooks Martin Ariza Dirk Yao We are easily an ELITE team then. This team would win an NBA title...
but he should take Ariza's spot. I don't want to see Trevor making a 3 when we have Dirk. So we should trade for him with ARiza.
Jesus! Dirk is right behind LeBron, Wade und Bosh! He'd be terrific with the Rockets! Plus he's is one of the greatest persons in this league! Get it done Morey! Do it!

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/news/story?page=DisappointingPlayers-100510 ESPN: Roundtable: Most Disappointing Players 1. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas It's not fair. It's hard to imagine what he could have done better, but with how many different big-budget teammates, and with how many different coaches, will this man lead teams that shock with playoff underperformance? Even when Dallas made it to the Finals -- a high point for most teams -- Nowitzki's team somehow managed to lose four straight to squander a 2-0 lead and become a tale of sadness. Dallas has now also lost in the opening round as the West's first (2007) and second (2010) seeds. Whether that says something about Nowitzki's game, leadership or fortunes, I don't know, but it's hard not to think these losses could come to define him.
