1) S&T Marquis Daniels for Dan Gadzuric

- Dallas gets an young, athletic, and IMO starting caliber center; Bucks get a nice young backcourt player in return who could be a nice compliment to a resigned Michael Redd.

2) Trade Eric Dampier to Memphis for Lorenzen Wright and whatever else you can squeeze out of the Grizz (eg., draft pick(s), James Posey, etc.).

- Dallas gets long-term salary relief without sacrificing the ability to get 48 minutes of solid center play, and Lorenzen's 1-year contract provides a perfect fit, allowing the Mavs another year to evaluate the progress of DJ and Pavel; Memphis gets the guy they really wanted last summer.

3) Retain Michael Finley's services. The long-term savings from the Damp/Wright swap more than make up for keeping Mike.

You're now looking at the following roster:

Terry/Harris
Fin/Stack
Josh/Fin
Dirk/KVH
Gad/Wright

Fill it in with some minor signings. Maybe Jacobsen, some low priced vets looking for a contending team, a standout UFA. Point guard play improves from within, 2/3 play stays about the same, or perhaps improves with some luck on the injury front, the PF rotation is arguably the best in the NBA, and you've got two legit, if not elite, centers capable of handling starters' minutes.
