  • That's what (former) CNNSI writer Dan Shanoff wrote about the 1998 draft:

    "Winners: The Bucks

    After trading away No. 4 draft-pick Stephon Marbury last year, the Bucks get it right in '98 by stealing the marketable and talented Robert Traylor from the Mavs for an overhyped foreign prospect."

  • The Bucks NEVER had Dirk to begin with -so stop saying they traded him away.

    The Mavs had the 6th pick, Bucks the 9th. The Bucks wanted Tractor Traylor but thought he might get picked before 9. The Mavs wanted Dirk but knew they could get more value. So they swapped picks (with Pat Garrity also going to the Mavs).

    The Mavs would have just draft Dirked themselves with the 6th pick otherwise.

    Picking Tractor (rip) was a terrible move, but Dirk should not be counted against the Bucks.

  • @thejohhny69

    It was not me who labelled Dirk an "overhyped foreign prospect". If you look closely you would see the "..." in my original post which indicate that I quoted someone else who apparently was far off with his estimation of Nowitzki's and Traylor's respective talent. I'm a big fan of Dirk btw.

  • these video was uploaded in august 23, 2006 that is the year when the mavs loss to the heat but they avenge it last year.

  • @stuckonautomatic an "overhyped foreign prospect" the overhyped foreign prospect that you're talking about is now a 2007 nba leage mvp and the 2011 nba finals mvp

  • haha, i mean cmon man. its not like dirk would have develolped the same in Milwaukee. You know, he had someone who actually believed in him: Don Nelson. Daz why he is what he is right now... And of course not to forget his great menton holger geschwendner....
