So if the theory is that Philly just wants to dump salary & start over, and Cuban is willing to break the bank (wink), here's a mother-f'er of a trade:

Howard
Dampier
Gooden
Carroll

for

Brand
Dalembert
Iguodala

Philly saves about $3.5 million over the balance of this year; then, in the summer of LeBron, Philly's cap number drops by $36.2 million, giving them only $28.8 million in commitments--so, cap room in the neighborhood of $25 million. They could be a major player. It also reduces their long-term commitments by $108 million.

The Mavs do it for obvious reasons. Iggy is way better than Josh; Dalembert vs. Dampier is a judgment call, though Dalembert is much younger, which is a plus; and Brand, as the third player in the front-court with Dirk & Dalembert, is about a 4000% upgrade over Gooden. Money, schmoney. This brings rings.
