Indy waives Fin immediately, and get big luxury tax savings -- they get a 1/2/3 to replace Artest in MD and have swingmen of Jones, Daniels, Jackson, Bender. They probably look to move Bender for more frontcourt help, but they have Foster, Croshere, and JOneil. They also might move Bender for say Cutino Mobley.
Dallas uses the injury clause on TAW. If they were to waive KVH then they would be close to the luxury tax line, and still have the MLE to use. Pollard/Miller/Bradley would come off the books next year -- getting them even closer. They would have bird's rights on Terry. Swingmen would be Stackhouse/Howard/Artest .... Froncourt of Dirk/Damp/DJ/Pollard/PPod? PG of Terry/Harris.
Just thoughts. In one year, Dallas would be under the salary cap, and know if DJ/PPod can be the backup to Dirk/Damp. Artest/Howard/Stack would be an awesome swingman rotation. Terry/Harris at PG isn't bad. 6th man in Stack. Look to utilize the MLE on situational shooters.

Indy can get more for Artest than Daniels. Despite Artest being a headcase, he's probably the top defensive player in the game and averages 20+ ppg. I would not be shocked to see Artest move, but I think it will be for more.
