Is it possible that trading Finley could help the Mavs win a championship? Sure. But it's by no means necessary, and in fact there are probably more scenarios in which trading Fin would hurt the Mavs chances than in which it would help since his trade value right now is probably not as high as his on-court value to the franchise.

One must not live in the past. You consider Finley an All-Star guard. When was that? 2, 3, or 4 years ago? When will he be one again? Possibly never. I never said Finley couldn't be a part of a championship team. He WILL NOT be a "all-star" guards with the Mavs when they win a championship. The Mavs won't win for a few more years, in which Finley will be a much lesser player than he is now. And you would not have to have to get the necessary parts in a Finley deal. Just pieces. Young talent that will be fine players in the near future. Chicago can help Dallas out in Dallas future and Finley can help their box office out now. With Finley's experience, hard work, leadership by example, and home town favoritism on his side, he would help staighten the Bulls.
Sure there are probably more scenarios in which trading Fin would hurt the mavs, but.....there are probably quite a few that could help them. As far as his on court value, it is time for some players to step up (dirk) and boys to grow into men (howard and daniels) Both spent 4 years in college.
