Portland has Roy (untouchable), Fernandez, Outlaw, and Webster for sure.
Who would they most likely move -- and what would they want?
I like the idea of Portland, but I don't think they trade with Dallas for what Dallas wants to give. I do think that they would make a great partner in a three way where Portland gets what they want, and they move a few pieces to Dallas, and Dallas gives up Stack's expiring and maybe Josh as well.
What does Portland really want though?
Remember, they also have Sergio Rodriguez who would be great playing behind Kidd for a few years.
<edit>
and on the Shaq statement -- it really doesn't cause that much of an issue because you now have three solid scoring threats in Shaq, Dirk, and Terry. SG and SF end up being defensive minded people with Shaq patrolling the paint. Even Bass gets to finish with the offense run through Shaq inside-out.
Wright, Green, George, etc can all play the SG/SF position when they don't have to create offense, just shoot set shots, and play descent D with Shaq controlling the paint. As long as Shaq still gets the Superstar treatment when it comes to fouls -- Dallas would be a contender again.
