Is this trade far-fetched?
Dallas Trades
Michael Finley
Tariq Abdul Wahad
Portland Trades
Theo Ratliff
Derek Anderson
From a talent standpoint, it's obviously a steal, but from a monetary standpoint, it'll be great for Portland. B/c they do want to get out of both said player's contracts. This could help them out as far as luxury tax and salary cap. B/c when they make the trade, they could waive both Finley and Wahad. Wahad could come straight off the books, and since they'll be around the luxury threshold they could save $51 million by waiving Finley. Add on to that, NVE's gone after next year. And for Dallas, we could use our "exception" on Anderson and resign Finley(if that's allowable). If not, we could always keep him?
Dallas lineup
Terry/Harris
DA or Fin/Stackhouse
Howard/Daniels
Dirk/KVH
Damp/Ratliff

I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
