I actually wouldn't have any problem pairing Hedo up with Dirk. If you're looking for someone to carry the scoring load when Dirk's resting Caron's probably the better choice, but as one of the few guys in the league who can boast legitimate point forward skills and instincts Hedo might provide a better overall fit playing next to Dirk (and Kidd and Marion, for that matter).
Not that I'd swap Caron straight up for him, mind you. Their respective trade values aren't close to comparable thanks to the deal Dallas helped Hedo get last summer. And I agree completely that as long as both Caron and Marion are here there's simply no room for another 3/4 in the rotation.
