For either of Chicago's bigs, I keep Dirk, Nash, and Howard. Anything else is fair game - but I dont give up TWO major pieces (major pieces are Finley, Jamison, Walker).

My offer would be: they could have their choice of any of the 3, plus anything else on the roster, and make the salaries match. Would take back SOME junk salary. I would NOT put all of my eggs in this basket, if I couldnt get the deal for a reasonable price.

My guess: they would want more.

My take: the Mavs will be able to get a decent big this summer in FA, for the MLE, without giving away any major piece. So any deal needs to improve on THAT scenario. I think Ostertag or Chris Andersen or Rebraca will be the frontrunners, with maybe Divacs or KThomas as outside shots. All will very likelyl be MLE priced or less.
