In your proposed trade, your adding too many pieces to be realistic. I think it would be very likely that the sixers would be glad to rid themselves of brands guarenteed contract.

in milwaukees situation, they are trying to resign sessions and charlie v. for new jersey, its all about 2010. the 76ers aren't in that situation. if they execute this trade, they are purely blowing things up for 2010. they aren't in any kind of financial distress so comparing philly to nj and the bucks is an apples to oranges comparison.
given that, i do think the mavs would have to give up more than a pile of bad knees and expiring contracts to make a deal happen and since the mavs don't have picks or an overwhelming amount of talent, they'll have to do it the old fashioned way (ala NVE, Juwan Howard, LaFrentz) and that is absorb some bad contracts..
