I actually would have passed on Jackson as well but mainly because I think he's a nutcase. But a jackson for howard?? well as a monday morning qb it's a good deal now.

I'm also not sure I see the parallel to the Kidd for Kaman/Davis rumors. My memory of those is that they were coming from the Clips' side and that Dallas never seemed to even consider taking on Baron's contract. Especially with Kaman playing poorly and rarely at the time.

You are correct except that deal looked to me to be a way to greatly change the team for the better and of course Kaman was going to be a gamble. I would certainly do it now and of course every trade is a "bet" on the future. I do believe it should have been taken however and still do, assuming it was out there and I expect it may have been at that time, but who's to know.
