Trying to think of point guards the Mavs might prefer over the current crop they have is pretty difficult. But Mike Bibby is without a doubt an upgrade. Unfortunately, you would pretty much assume that he's unavailable. What if he wasn't though?

It's pretty obvious that the Kings aren't going to contend any time soon with their current personnel. Likewise, everyone knows the Maloofs are lsing money and would like to ease their expenses a bit. Bibby was just resigned recently, but that was to a contending team. Add in the whispers that he was firmly in the Webber camp against Peja, and it could make some sense if you made it worthwhile to the Kings.

Dallas trades:
Keith Van Horn
Marquis Daniels
Devin Harris

Kings trade:
Mike Bibby
Kenny Thomas
Greg Ostertag

The Mavs end up giving quite a bit of youth to get one of the best PGs in the league. They also get very needed frontcourt help in Thomas, and relieve the Kings of Ostertag.

The Kings get immediate help with salary at the end of the season with Van Horn. Daniels and Harris give them a great group to begin building around with Peja.
