Here's a Dallas - Detroit trade that could work especially after seeing the start for the Mavs and what is really lacking:

Dallas out:
JET, Butler, JJB

Detroit out:
Stuckey, Rip, Prince

We take on a lot more money, but pick up players that IMO would fit much better on this team. It allows Kidd to actually get 30-32 mpg with no problem because Stuckey is good enough to play that many minutes. JET to Rip is mostly a wash with an emphasis on a different type of game for Rip. Butler to Prince is an upgrade on defense while I'm not sure it's a large downgrade on O. Marion and Prince as our 3's is pretty defensively stout.

Kidd/Stuckey/Roddy/DoJo
Roddy(if he proves his ability)/Rip/Stuckey/DoJo
Prince/Marion
Dirk/Marion/Mahinmi
Chandler/Haywood/Mahinmi/Ajinca

Roddy has to be a go to scorer type if this is gonna work. Rip in a backup role fits fine, he can be a focal point like JET is now for offense. I like Marion in the backup 3 and 4 role where he'll see time on the floor with both Dirk and Prince. Very similar to how they do it now, Butler comes out for Marion, a couple minutes later Butler comes in for Dirk, replace Butler with Prince and it works great.
