    We alrady have great shooting guards, what we need now is a forward who can score, rebound, assist and play either power or small forward! The last person we had like that was Pippen. Nowitzki is the perfect guy for us and YES....I WOULD GIVE UP Cuttino "Thinks he is all Hard" Mobley for him.

    I would do that trade instantly. Nowitski would make matchup problems for opposing teams.

    Of course we'd do it. Problem is no one with even half a brain would even consider giving Nowitzki for Mobley.

    Summer Song Giver, how can you trade Walt Williams to Denver for Antonio McDyess and Matt Bullard, if Bullard and Williams are on the same team?

    DJ, I think he was joking. Cause someone wrote that 'you'd (Dallas)have ta be stupid to trade Nowitski for Cuttino'.

    No, cause when Hakeem retires, Cato could be a good starting center.

    Dirk is Dallas's gem. They took a chance on him, and it looked bad his first year. Boy, he's proving the critics wrong. He's actually a decent rebounder and athlete.

    I would do : Cuttino/#1 for Nowitzki in a heartbeat.

    See....I still wished we had Pippen, so that we could have TRADED HIM FOR NOWITZKI,..AT THAT POINT, DALLAS WOULD HAVE DONE THE DAMN TRADE!

    Yes, but the Mavs aren't stupid enough to trade Nowitzki for Mobley straight up.

    No.... really... I mean it... they're not as stupid as they have been in the past.

    Stop laughing, I'm serious.

    He's 7 feet tall and blocks shots. Instant trade bait.

    Actually DJ Summer Song Giver said she would trade Walt for McDyess and trade Matt Bullard for the number one pick overall, come on we would be getting robbed! [​IMG] Mobes for Dirk huh? Yeah that's going to happen! I know some of you guys are upset at Cat, but again look at what you're posting. . .

    Millenium, so you're saying you would rather have Cat then Dirk ? Or, are you saying some of us are offering too much for Dirk ?

    Oh no gr8-1 if that deal ever came up I would do that in a HEART beat, are you kidding? [​IMG] Actually I don't think we would be offering ENOUGH for Dirk. Think about it, Dirk is probably one of the top 3 SF's in the league this season. He is tearing it up he presents serious matchup problems and can play SF, PF and even center against a lot of teams. Cat is a good player, I love the guy, heart, desire, explosive offense, best 6 man in the NBA. But if you were building a team would you take Dirk, or would you take Cat? And who is a better fit for this team Cat or Dirk? Cat would fit better because we are guard oriented, but Dirk would help our frontcourt tremendously, but think about it from the other end, who fits Dallas better Cat or Dirk? Obviously Dirk would, and Dallas would fall off if they took Cat, who doesn't fit their team.

    Think about that deal though, how does it help Dallas? We give them more PFs? I tell you, if 45% of the leagues PFs reside in Portland, 35% of the other 55% reside in Dallas. Dallas is Portland-lite, and if Portland doesn't need a PF Dallas likely doesn't. Langhi is unproven, though he looks nice in spots he just isn't given the time to show his stuff. And Cat doesn't fit their team. And even if they play Cato at center, why would they do that when they have shot-blocker Shawn Bradley? Why take on Cato's contract, especially if it could hinder their chances at keeping Finley and adding more players? And for that we would be asking them to give up what is likely the centerpiece of their team and a draft pick.
