Chandler in nowhere near 2011 Chandler now.
Kidd is EONS away from 2011 Kidd now.
Shump might be a better defender, but he's not quite him on O (Stevenson could get on fire from 3)
Novak could be Stojakovic, but he isn't even playing (Thanks Woodson!)
Martin is not Marion, Marion could post and shoot... kinda.
At one time, JR was better than 2011 Terry. Not now.
Carmelo is not 2011 Dirk. Dirk used his physical advantages to his max in a way that Carmelo can't. Maybe if he was 7 feet it'd be different, but it's moot.
Chandler is the same Chandler. I think people are starting to see how overrated he was to Dallas' championship. He certainly helped, but he wasn't the missing piece people thought. You know what made Dallas so much better? It was dumping that garbage pile called Erik Dampier and having a couple of real centers for once. Chandler's influence looked so great because he was taking over such a terrible center.
Shumpert has some level of ball handling and athleticism for offense.
Stoacavic became useless to the Mavs after getting past the Lakers, he was just a liability against the Thunder and Heat.
Neither Martin or Marion have any refinement to their offense. They are good for defense and Martin can protect the rim.
JR is just being pre-2011 playoff Terry.
Dirk is better than Carmelo.
The team around Carmelo is just as good as the 2011 Mavs. That team wasn't extremely talented. It had guys who knew their roles and had a great team gameplan.
