Even with Iggy and Brand for Josh/Damp/Caroll the payroll wouldnt explode.

2011/2012 its 65 mio for the big guys, but you just need to add a few veterans and the team is fine. Maybe Dirk would even consider opting out and signing an extension starting around 18mio next year (like Duncan did) if he really likes this trade.

2012/2013: Jets last year has just 5 mio guaranteed.

And if Kidd probably retire or leave after 2013 you have Brand left as an expiring and Marion and Iggy both with 2 years. Thats absolut ok for a rebuild situation.
