Step Two: Swap Bonzi Wells, Patterson and Dale Davis to Dallas for Michael Finley and Raef LaFrentz
I also suggested this trade last week in my "Five Trades We'd Like to See" piece. Dallas is in need of toughness, especially in the paint, and Davis is a great fit. He won't put up a lot of points, but he'll do the dirty work and that's all Dallas really needs. Wells gives them a more physical option at the two and Patterson, for all of his faults, is a tenacious defender.

PG: NASH, NVE, DANIELS, A.J.
SG: WELLS, BELL
SF: PATTERSON, HOWARD, TAW
PF: DIRK, NAJERA
C: DAVIS, BRADLEY, ESCH
Not a bad lineup, but I don't think it puts us any higher than 4th. I would be okay with this trade if at the trade deadline Daniels is used to the NBA and we could trade NVE for Grant. I would love to have both Grant and Davis in the game at the same time. Both are excellent man on man defenders.
The thing I do like about it is our 2nd team of NVE, Bell, Howard, Najera, and Bradley is still better than most of the teams in the East. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
