I wonder if Avery still has as much Damp love as he did when he convinced Donnie/Cubes to bring him here a few years ago. If so, Rip for Damp straight-up works perfectly. Could sweeten the deal for Detroit by including Prince & J-Ho, which is largely a wash on salary & talent, but gives Detroit a ton of cap room in 2010 with Josh & Damp expiring. Thus, they could potentially add two more free agents next offseason.

This obviously would leave the Mavs relying on Gortat & Hollins at 5, but Rip is a huge upgrade at the 2, so I think it's a worthwhile gamble.
