If the Maverick's couldn't lower the number of bodies on the roster then why wouldn't they just do a trade straight up for Dampier? Why would they involve the Bobcats in the first place?
I don't know enough about the CBA to get into trade scenarios and I never have. It makes me look more stupid than most of you think I already am, but with that said, it seems to me that a three way deal can only mean that the Mav's are doing something not only to get Dampier, but to reduce the roster as well.
Am I on the right track here, or am I missing something.

Golden State doesn't want to add salary because it could put them in the luxury tax, so they could simply let Dampier walk and save money. If we traded straight up with them, they would add more salary, which they wouldn't want. So Dallas gets Charlotte to take the salary and tips them with a draft pick and Golden State gets a 1st, which is more than they would get if they let him sign with Atlanta.
