I think we have a much better chance with those two than with Kidd who isn't an offensive threat and still allows teams to take Dirk out with double teams.
Let's just be honest about how things really are, Cuban won't do this trade only because then he would be admitting he made a mistake in the trade a year ago, and he's too stubborn to do that.

How does this give us talent at all five positions? It's a downgrade at PG and an upgrade (in some areas) at center.
It's also a downgrade at SG because you will pay defensively much more often with Davis/Jet in the back court than you do right now with Kidd/Jet.
The only way you make this deal is if you are absolutely convinced that Kidd will walk this offseason and you don't feel confident that you can put the resulting cap space to use in 2010.
