After looking at salaries I don't know how we could include KVH in place of Croshere though, assuming that Denver would not be willing to pay KVH anywhere near what Croshere is getting. But I would be fine with letting Croshere go if it meant bringing in Camby.
This may even mean bringing Keith back under a cheap contract which I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to, but I wouldn't be crazy about either. I'd much rather just say our goobies and part ways to allow our more athletic and defensive oriented developing big men take those minutes.

Possibly.
But if I were Denver, I'd be talking Diop, KVH (1 year SNT), and Croshere for Camby/Najera.
Dallas might pull the trigger, but they would be getting a solution at C, and removing two contracts. Denver might be overpaying KVH for a year, but it would remove the 3 left for Eddie, and get them more insurance for the inevitable Martin/Francis trade coming soon.
If they could sign Evans to a descent paycheck, they would be fairly set on their frontline with Diop/Nene/Evans/Croshere/KVH -- and two of them expiring. Dallas might have to include PPod as well.
Dallas might do it because Eddie is a defensive hustler and Camby would solidify the C position giving them more offense from that position.
I would guess that Dallas would get their #1 back as well, maybe more.
Francis / Boykins
Miller / Smith / Hodge
Anthony / Patterson / KVH
Evans / Croshere
Nene / Diop
They would be fairly solid.
-------------------------------
Terry / Harris
Bucknor / Stack
Howard / Marshall
Nowitzki / Najera / Powell
Camby / Damp / DJ
Camby would float between 4/5. Stack float 2/3. Terry float 1/2.
This team looks like for the top 8 it would have more offense, and just as good or better of defense as this last year.
