Can you move Stack, Terry, JHo, Bass for (JRich, Magette, ??) and (JO, ??)? I don't know, but that is the path I would take.

I just don't think it's doable.
If you don't trade Dirk and Kidd, then the only significant assets Dallas has are Josh Howard and Jason Terry. Dallas needs a starting shooting guard and a back up center--minimum. That gives you Kidd, Dirk, a defensive force (Damp), and two offensive threats (Josh Howard and the new shooting guard). You should be able to fill the back up center spot with the MLE.
But you can't get a good 2 for Terry--he's a too short 2 that can play a little point. Why would anybody do that deal (unless they had two good shooting guards and no point at all and nobody else would make a deal for a point?--that seems unlikely). If you trade Josh, then you need a small forward, so you are still a player short.
I don't see anyone on the team that can fill one of those roles--Wright is the only possibility, or maybe Rayshown Terry? I don't think those guys have enough talent.
The current team doesn't look to me like it has enough for another championship run.
