Should Dallas Even Bother Trading for Shaq?

[RoSHiJETS10]

I was thinking about it and right now it just doesn't make sense for Dallas to trade for Shaq. Just look at their future core: Devin Harris, Marquis Daniels (convince him to resign with promise of more playing time), Josh Howard, and and the russian monster Podkolzine. I say let Nash walk, play and play harris, Trade stack to NY for Kurt and Dikembe. So now Dallas would have Mutumbo, Laetner, and Walker all off the books minus Nash leaving this year but still have A great team for the future with Harris, Daniels, Howard, Dirk, and Pavel. Not to mention Kurt and Najera of the bench. If these players mature, they could be a beast for many years. Oh, and forgot Finley and Fortson(another good bench player) Until Finleys contract runs out, they could stagger his time at the 2 and 3 giving both Daniels and Howard PT. This hurts what LA could possibly get for Shaq as dallas had the best offer. But I think they would be better off waiting for Podkolzine than having 2 years of good shaq and two years of 500lb shaq

makes sense.They'd be definatly taking steps forward by getting shaq but down the line they'd hurt their future.

lakers are my team not dallas. If LA needs to trade shaq then dallas is the best option but I just don't understand why dallas would do it

early speculation here is that pavel will not be ready to contribute until shaq's contract and effectiveness is up anyways. so why not make a deal for shaq and try to get a few titles and then have another 7 footer ready to go after that?

If they don't trade for shaq, then Nash will DEFINITELY be here. They aren't going to let him go. He's the heart of the team.

They would trade him in a deal for shaq though. Cause they'd rather trade him than dirk.


As for Stackhouse going to NY, I'm not sure that's going to happen anymore. The nelsons have said he's their sixth man and that he's receptive to the idea.

He replaces jaimison.

They didn't rule out trading him to someone but at this point, I dont' think it's going to happen.

And the jury's still WAY out on Pavel. It's a chance that they felt was worth the risk. A first round pick next year. They feel he's bigger than shawn bradley (as in he's got a bigger base). + he's got more heart than bradley.

I think in a few years, he could be an actual good white center.
