If Dallas really wants to take a chance on this year.

This works, and if TMac is healthy then it could be a very good deal.

Kidd, TMac, Marion, Dirk, Damp with Terry, Gooden, TThomas is pretty darn good, and of the talent level of any team.

Houston gets JHo and lots of $$'s coming off the books as well.
