The catch is, with VC's contract and both Josh and Stack going out you've made all the impact moves you're going to be able to make for a while, so the question isn't whether it improves the team so much as whether it lifts them up to the LA/Boston/Cleveland level. I think it could, but it's not a given.

It does leave us w/out almost any tradeable assets until maybe next season when Damp becomes desirable. But then we would need a center in return for Damp. Could get tricky. Dooling is a good defender and could guard quicker pg's playing next to Kidd. I wonder if anyone out there prefers this deal to the Shaq/Barnes possibility? Davis/Kaman? Time for a poll? It's good to know there seem to be options out there for us. So glad we overpaid Stack a few years back...
