IMO,
You make that trade, and Dallas is out of the playoffs for at least 3 years maybe more. They would be out of the big Red, but not have enough of the "right" talent to win, and high draft picks have already been traded away.
Aldridge is not as good a Dirk. Fernandez hasn't proven to be as good as Kidd. No one else on that roster gives you the slasher needed in todays NBA to be marketable.
Dallas would be better off trying to get JO, and Magette without giving up Dirk/Kidd.
Inside scoring threat, and a legitimate slasher to play the wing with Dirk/Kidd would be hard to beat --- if they stressed defense like Avery likes to do.
IMO, this team needs Dirk, and at least two other offensive threats, along with Kidd, and a defensive force.
Can you move Stack, Terry, JHo, Bass for (JRich, Magette, ??) and (JO, ??)? I don't know, but that is the path I would take.
