He also deserves some of the blame, but if you consider that he has had a PER of 26 in the playoffs there isn't really much more you can expect from him.

Thats just it tho... I do expect more. This is where Amazing is supposed to happen right? True super stars find a way to make big things happen regardless of injuries, slumping teammates, questionable coaching etc. So with out this the other option is to try and be a well rounded team like the Spurs and Pistons. We're not the Spurs or Pistons as much as Avery has tried to gear us in that direction.

It's probably in the best interest of both to make a decision because at the end of the day we still haven't won that championship and that is what it's all about.

I agree.
Now for the outlandish trade portion of my post... This wouldn't give us that super star to save us from playoff early exits but would be a step in the right direct of building a Spurs/Pistons type team.
Dirk to Toronto for Bosh... at least Bosh can score with his back to the basket and blocks shots despite his inability to bulk up like most people say he needs to do (he's still young tho). Dirk could benefit from playing Euro ball in the leastern division with the other foreign kids up there. Just a thought...
