well, for one thing, walker would be gone with this trade.

another thing, if nelson decides to use that lineup in crunch time even though he has guys like josh howard, antawn jamison, and especially an actual center in erick dampier, i would want nellie gone and his excuses about having no center.

but i like this lineup

nash
finley
jamison (if we need scoring) or howard (if we need defense)
nowitzki
dampier

nve's getting old. i don't think he'd mind an even more reduced role.

btw, i'd rather have dampier than ostertag, ilgauskas, or ratliff. wasn't sure what other posters thought, but i think ostertag's too slow, ilguaskas can't play defense, and ratliff is way overrated and injury-prone. there's not many centers out there that can help us, but dampier is one of the few IMO.
