Dirk already showed he can't be the player now where do the mavs go from here???? Oh yea, down.

They want to win but at a limited price. Go on and continue to "kidd" yourself that your happy that Kidd is gone. Anyway, you'll need something to do as the Nets will have to go home early every year for missing the playoffs. And another thing, wish hard that your delusions of getting Lebron in 2010 becomes a reality. goodluck with that. Believe me you'll need it. </div> Dr. J is gone, too. I doubt he could help much either. (But I guarantee he would at least show up for every game and try and earn his gigantic paycheck.)
