Dal/GS

[dalmations202]

I am not actually suggesting this trade be made, but I was thinking it might be something pretty strange to think about. I heard GS was trying to offload Baron Davis to make room to extend Pietrus.

Would you do this trade? Why?

Successful Scenario
Due to Dallas and Golden State being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Dallas and Golden State had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.


Dallas would get a true point guard who avg many more assists that Terry, and get a young backup 4 Dirk.

GS would cap relief in KVH, and get a young with some potential.

Just a thought. I am not sure if Baron would disrupt the way things are going, or push Dallas over the top.

Probably not a good idea to mess with chemisty considering the roll they are on, but would this trade push them up a level to "dominant" instead of "very good and a top 3 team"?
