[The Miles]

Dallas Mavericks trade:

Erick Dampier ($7,875,000)
Marquis Daniels ($5,390,000)
Shawn Bradley ($4,500,000)
Josh Howard ($873,880)
Total: $18,638,880 (can take back up to $21,534,712)

Philadelphia 76ers trade:

Jamal Mashburn ($10,075,000)
Samuel Dalembert ($8,000,000)
Andre Iguodala ($2,058,000)
Total: $20,133,000 (to Dallas)
Total: $16,133,000 (can take back up to $18,652,950)

Iguodala for Josh Howard isn't a downgrade, could very well be an upgrade. You trade Dampier for Dalembert but since the difference in age is seven years, 30 to 23, you have to pay with some talent in Marquis Daniels. Philly takes Marquis because they are looking for a tall PG type to allow Iverson to play the SG too, you know the deal there. Bradley is simple filler and trust me, I tried it with Wahad but it won't work at anything less than offering Dalembert the MAX which no one wants to do.

Dalembert is signed for $8,000,000 1st year, $1,000,000 more than what Dampier got. Depending on how long it is, it can be four totals for Dalembert:

6 years (10%)=$60,000,000
6 years (12.5%)=$63,000,000
7 years (10%)=$72,800,000 (200k less than Dampier)
7 years (12.5%)=$77,000,000 (four more than Dampier)

Why are there 2 totals under Philly?

Because Dalembert will be base year when he signs that contract, ie he will be coming to us at $8,000,000 but leaving Philly at $4,000,000.

Anyways, we get 7 years younger at C and get a guy that dropped 12/12 on Ben Wallace in the playoffs this year. So, yes, it costs us Marquis, but we still have Jet, Devin, Fin, Stack, and Iggy.
