KG, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But:

I am expecting something along these lines to go down.

Dallas trades: SF Josh Howard (8.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.5 apg in 23.7 minutes)
SF Jon Stefansson (8.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 1.5 apg in 23.7 minutes)
PF Antoine Walker (14.0 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 4.5 apg in 34.6 minutes)
Dallas receives: SF Vince Carter (22.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg in 38.1 minutes)
PG Moochie Norris (3.5 ppg, 1.0 rpg, 1.8 apg in 12.8 minutes)
Change in team outlook: +3.4 ppg, -8.0 rpg, and +0.6 apg.

Toronto trades: SF Vince Carter (22.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg in 38.1 minutes)

C Kurt Thomas (11.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg, 1.9 apg in 80 games)
C Dikembe Mutombo (5.6 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 0.4 apg in 65 games)
Change in team outlook: +2.8 ppg, +15.7 rpg, and -1.0 apg.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then I expect Delk to be moved to Atlanta or somesuch for a bag of beans and a low future draft pick.

Bradley (20), Booth (20), Benga (8)
Nowitzki (35), Najera (13)
Carter (30), Stackhouse (18)
Daniels (20), Finley (22), Stackhouse (6)
Norris (18), Harris (18), Daniels(10), AJ (2)

IR: Pavel, TAW, L8

Get the cap savings from L8 at the end of the year.

Offense from Nowitzki, Carter, Fin, Stackhouse, Daniels -- also this is Nellies smallball lineup.
Defense from Bradley, Booth, Benga, Najera, Harris.

This would be a pretty descent lineup for now and future. Especially if Bradley, Booth, Benga can actually guard someone, block some shots, and rebound the ball.

Future of Harris, Daniels, Benga, Pavel isn't bad. Carter and Nowitzki are in their primes now. Finley, Bradley have a few good years left. Booth, Najera are good role players. I'd go to bat with that lineup and take my chances.

IMO, I think that lineup would put them in the top 5 teams in the league next year.

Bradley (20)
Booth (20)
Benga (8)
Nowitzki (35)
Najera (13)
Carter (30)
Stackhouse (24)
Finley (22)
Daniels (30)
Norris (18)
Harris (18)
AJ (2)
