Mavs/Clippers Trade
Dalmation gets credit for this proposal as he originally posted it in another thread but I thought it was interesting enough to warrant its own.
Clippers Get:
Erick Dampier
Josh Howard
Dallas Gets:
Chris Kaman
Cuttino Mobley
I'd also like to mention a possibility of getting DeAndre Jordan in that deal but probably wouldn't let it be a deal breaker if it couldn't be arranged. He hasn't received hardly any playing timer there and reports are they they're considering pushing him into the D-League.
Mavs get the offensive center they've really needed in Kaman albeit at the expense of Damp who played a VERY good game against the Lakers last night. Still, Kaman is a 26 year old 7 footer who can shoot rebound and defend. Furthermore he is obviously good friends with Dirk and has developed a strong relationship with him on the German national team. We also get another serviceable two in Cuttino who can probably start for this team.
The Clips, who have been rumored to be shopping Kaman get an All-Star talent along with a serviceable big man. This gives them depth and versatility in their starting lineup.
Dallas Lineup:
Kaman / Diop
Dirk / Bass
Green / Stack / Williams
Mobley / Wright
Kidd / Terry
Clippers Lineup
Damp / B.Skinner
Camby / T.Thomas
Thorton / R.Davis
Howard / Gordon
B.Davis
