If that trade were to happen I think you'd have to assume that the Kings would cut Gooden (they did so last year, ironically). So you'd have a chance to get him back.
You also have the trade exception to go find another big man as well.
But yes, the Mavs would need to have a plan in place for how to deal with the front court if that trade were to happen.
Personally I think the better question is whether you'd trade Josh and Roddy for Martin.
