Trade anything and everything to bring Shaquille O?Neal to the Dallas Mavericks, says this editorial writer.

Dirk Nowitzki?  Make him available too.  

Antawn Jamison, Antoine Walker and Josh Howard seem to be the better choices for Los Angeles but they?ll want Dirk instead and Mark Cuban will just have to part with him then.

Shaq makes the Mavericks favorites for the Finals immediately, despite his questionable health and longevity.  Nash on the outside and Shaq on the inside is all you need.

So despite his questionable health and longevity, the Mavericks must do everything it takes to land Shaq.
