Could Chandler, Butler, Stevenson, Beaubois and Barea plus 2011 and 2013 first round draft choices for Paul, Okafor & Posey get this done?
It needs to be grouped as three deals, Chandler-Paul, Butler-Okafor, & Stevenson, Beaubois, Barea-Posey.
You can throw in $3 million or $9 million if the league lets you and Cuban is willing.
Mavericks:
Haywood/Okafor/Mahinni/Ajinca
Dirk/Thomas
Marion/Posey
Kidd/Jones
Paul/Terry
Although you probably always play one of Paul or Kidd at the point. You also probably try to trade Mahinni or Ajinca for a two/three, or sign somebody, to balance the roster.
New Orleans
Chandler/Grey
West/Songalia/Brackins
Butler/Stojakovic/Wright
Thornton/Beaubois/Poindexter/Stevenson
Collison/Barea
Next year, the only player New Orleans has left on a significan contract is West--who's probably worth the money.
