We need a center probably more than anything else. Apparently, there are some good ones availabe, e.g. Kaman, Camby, and Chandler. These are optimal circumstances to realize a trade, especially with the trade chips we have.

During the regular season last year Dallas' starting center had a PER of 15.7, and their starting SG had a PER of 8.6. In the playoffs, Dallas' starting center was one of 5 players with a positive on-court +/-, and one of 6 players with a positive net +/-, whereas Dallas' starting SG and primary backup at the SG position tied for the worst on-court +/-, and worst and second-worst net +/- among players who played in at least 1/5th of the team's minutes.
Center is not this team's primary need. A starting wing is this team's primary need.
I wouldn't count on seeing Chandler in Dallas. I think he'd be an upgrade compared to Damp, but not a big enough upgrade to justify (in the mind of the front office) the extra 12 million he's due to be paid in 2010/2011.
