As for Walker, the Terry trade was an absolute steal but i'm sure we could have found something else for our team. We already had all the basics covered and an intimidating starting 5... maybe a post player of some sort and we would have been golden.

Sorry this is a little late.
Perhaps you weren't paying attention back then, but when they drafted Harris the intention was to sign Nash. They made Nash a pretty substantial offer, and when he left the Nelson's were floored. Cuban did not expect Nash to get such a big offer. All offseason they had been saying backup PG, backup PG, we need a backup PG. When they drafted Harris Donnie said "we got our backup PG".
As for Walker they had been shopping him all summer and the Terry offer was the only good one they had out there, and the summer was drawing to a close. I think we still make that trade.
