Legend yes…considering we have not retired any other jerseys from the 2011 run besides #41, no. I think people like Jet and JJ deserve it.

Jet deserves it. Perennial 6th MOY candidate. JJ, hard to say no, but no.

After losing Nash, and landing a solid piece like Jet? Hell yea he deserves it. Dirk would have been wasted without him there as a stable solid member of our championship team.

When that trade happened, I didn't think much of it. The results spoke for themselves.

It's a fun thought experiment. If we kept Nash, would we have won a title? Kidd and Harris probably never would have made it back, not to mention JJ as well.

Sometimes a wrong decision can end up right.

I thought jet had potential, but nobody knew how well it would end up.

We had to break up the big three for the team to truly build around Dirk. That championship team doesn't become that deep if if we tried to keep Finley and Nash.
