I would do this trade for the obvious, to finally have a Center in a Mavs uniform... This would force Dirk, who as you all know, I have crucified time and time again for terrible defense, to actaully play his natural PF position. This would allow us to play two 7 footers in the starting lineup, as well as allow Jamison, (assuming Walker is the one to leave-as the trade suggests), to finally start. We have a great 6th man in Howard, and he will likely get as many/more minutes than Jamison due to his defensive prowess. I dont actually hate Walker manning the point at times, as he can really be effective, but overall, I think we are a better team with this lineup...

Center: Z - 32 minutes, Bradley - 16 minutes
PF: Dirk - 38 minutes, Fortson/Najera - 10 minutes
SF: Jamison - 30 minutes, Howard - 18 minutes
SG: Finley - 38 minutes, Howard - 10 minutes
PG: Nash - 36 minutes, Best - 12 minutes

This puts us at a 10 man rotation, (9 depending on whether or not Fortson/Najera share the 10 minutes or on gets them all), and allows quality players to play quality minutes without over-working them. This would be one helluva trade for us!!!
