Successful Scenario
Due to Dallas, Denver, and Golden State being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Dallas, Denver, 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.

Just something I was looking at. I am sure there are wonderful reasons for basically every team not doing this, but it is a thought. I'd love to hear from some of you - your thoughts.
Why might GSW do it? If Kenyon Martin is healthy, then this might be the spark that could add enough toughness to get them through. Biedrins/PPod/Murphy/Martin/Diogu seems like a pretty formitable frontcourt.
Why Denver might do it? They would be getting rid of the contracts they really don't want, and getting some tough frontline players for the inevitable injury time of Camby.
Why Dallas might do it? Young 3rd string PG. A true young long swingman with some offensive\defensive skills. A backup for Dirk in Kabarkapa who has some offensive skills (little D though), and a tough minded scrapper in Eddie.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This would mean that Marshall/Pops doesn't make the team, and that two of Kabarkapa\Powell\Najera are on the inactive list most of the time with Ager.
It could be a very interesting team though, and very versitile.
Personally I don't think GSW would do it, but it is a thought.
Terry/Harris/Ellis
Bucknor/Stack
Howard/Pietrus
Dirk/(one of the three backup PF)
Diop/Damp/DJ
That would make for some very interesting combinations.
<edit> It would also have to happen after Sept 12, due to Croshere being a part of it.
