How to Fix the Mavs

Ok, terribly sorry for the month or so that I took off (not like any of you noticed). Big things have happpened. The Mavs get knocked off by the Warriors. I saw it coming. I don't believe that this is the biggest upset in NBA history. Everybody outside of the extremely biased Dallas media knew that Golden St. had a chance to knock off the Mavs. I will continue to stick by my theory that you will never win a championship if Dirk is the best player on your team. At the same time, I don't know if I would trade him straight up for KG. Garnett has slipped a little the last two years. Should the Mavs trade Dirk? If they want to win a title anytime soon, the answer should be yes. The Mavs should trade everybody on that roster not named Josh Howard. They need to turn the Devin Harris-Jason Terry combo into a point guard who can consistently find the open man, either Jason Kidd, Marcus Williams, Luke Ridnour, Andre Miller, or Jamaal Tinsley.
With that being said, do you think Dallas would offer Terry, Harris, Damp, Mensah-Bonsu and a No. 1 for Tinsley, Jermaine O'Neal, and David Harrison? That would give Dallas a starting lineup (tentatively) of Tinsley-George-Howard-Dirk-J. O'Neal. I think that is better than that Jump shooting crapfest that had out there before.
