    Obviously, Shaq's FG% is going to be way better and his rebounds SHOULD be better than Nowitzki's, but they aren't by much.

    Also, Nowitzki can keep the lanes clear for Kobe to do his thing and Kobe can dish out to someone who can finally hit a 20-25 footer with consistency! I would do this trade especially if Nash, Finley, or Jamison comes too... Well, they have to trade someone with Dirk because of the Salary Cap. Well, that's my 2 cents!
