So says Fish. So how do we get in the mix?

Gooden + Williams + Barea works. They save $2MM (annualized) right off the bat by shipping out Okafor's $10.7MM and taking back only $8.5MM in return (the numbers do work, by about $15k). They can waive Gooden and save an additional $2MM or so this season. Plus, they are off the hook for the $50MM+ owed to Okafor, while the Mavs pick up our starting C for the next 5 years for the price of our backup PG, our backup C who isn't really a C, and an exile.

Donnie, you gotta make this phone call.
