Forget Shaq!
DO NOT give up DIRK!
You have one of the two most exciting teams in the NBA (accually the only two), the other being Sacramento. Don't give up the fast paced high scoring that has become a Dallas trademark just to get Shaq. I played and coached basketball, yet until the Mavs started their run and gun offense, I never watched theNBA....too boring! Can Shaq fit in with your present style? Are you better getting a big man who can run the court (Ben Wallace)? Use your business sense, is this an asset or a liability (Shaq+100M)? Remember, the arena's already filled, and we don't need another A-ROD! Last but not least...listen to Larry Bird and Majic Johnson. The NBA needs more WHITE stars...you have two of the best in Nash and Nowitzki, DON'T MESS THAT UP!
I sent this as an email to Mark Cuban on June 23rd. He didn't go after Shaq, but worst he let Steve Nash go to Phoenix. Too high a price he said. Well Nash was the motor that drove the Mavs fast pace offense, he made every other player on the court better, especially Nowitzki. Not only is he one of the top 2 or 3 point guards in the NBA, but he could always be counted on to hit the clutch basket when needed, not to mention he is probably the best free throw shooter in the game. I will miss Steve, the fans will miss Steve, but most of all the chemistry of the Mavs will miss him.
