Which would damage the Mavs more - if Kidd walked, or if the Magic matched on Gortat? Some folks hate Kidd and Gortat. That's fine - in that case, which is the lesser of two evils? I would personally say Kidd's walking would be worse, because Gortat being matched leaves a far more salvageable offseason. Some of the nice targets might be off the board then, but at least we wouldn't have three starters to replace as opposed to two. I'll say it again - if Kidd walks without an SnT, the Dirk era is officially over (but the Mavs will asininely keep Dirk to keep the cash rolling in). Which would be worse - Kidd walking, or the Magic matching on Gortat? (Result) Kidd walking - leaves Mavs with too small of a talent quotient Gortat getting matched - dang, lost a great target and lots of the best FAs off the board Both would be equally awful Whaddaya mean? I'll celebrate if both happen, because then they'll fire Donnie Let Real Madrid have both of 'em

Donnie can get deals done, just not the headline grabbing, all star deals that everyone wants...that IMO, will probably backfire. I think some have said his problem is not having the same type of connections that allow the Suns/Cleveland trade, or the Pau Gasol to the Lakers trade to go down...but if you think Donnie "can't" or isn't trying to get deals done, you're sadly mistaken. I guess us Mavs fans are just waiting for HUGE Splash, and if it doesn't happen, the season/team is lost, even if they make another playoff run with just a few moves. I think if they do keep Kidd, sign Gortat, and use Damp/Stack to get a starting calibur 2 Guard, and fine a more legitimate backup PG(love JJB, but only in spurts, or when the team needs a sparkplug off the bench) they'll be much better than last year, and not that far behind LA/Spurs(who I don't think are that far ahead right now, but even with Jefferson, woudln't be now if the Mavs made those moves.)
