Assuming Caron can make a two month bounce back, the Mavs' current roster can sustain itself away from the trade option. JET should run with the starters as he can no longer create his own shots and would best replace the shooting lost with Caron's injury in the first-unit. He's probably the one Mav whose impact is maximized the most when playing with Kidd's fastbreak orchestration and Dirk's space creation/PnR's.

Stevenson needs to start for his defense and 3ball and can play SF to help make up for Caron's minutes. That's okay because the two spot can be manned by JET and provide minutes for DoJo/Roddy's emergence and return. This starting lineup keeps Marion in the 2nd unit and prevents the bench from turning into a bunch of combo guards and a center (hey there, 3 guard lineups). The second unit would then be loaded with players who can find their own offense via penetration (Marion/JJB/DoJo/Roddy).

Kidd(34)/JJB(14)
JET(30)/Dojo&Roddy(18)
Stevenson(22)/Marion(26)
Dirk(36)/Marion(12)
Chandler(30)/Haywood(18)
