DAL/IND/MEMP
Indiana trades: Bender,Pollard
receives: Finley, 3 mil from Dallas
Memphis trades: Wells
receives: Bender, Dallas 1st rounder
Dallas trades: Fin, 1st rounder, 3 mil
receives: Wells, Pollard
WHY?
Indiana gets a shooter for title run, but adds salary. They might want more. Or to give up more salary (Croshere).
Memphis gets someone to try and replace Swift, and a decent pick, for someone not in their plans
Dallas gets Finley replacement, and some salary help in the future. They are trading a lot , so they'd really have to want the relief and Wells
This hinges on the Pacers thinking Fin will propel them to Finals, and Dallas wanting Wells. Also, there might be problems if Wells and Stack are on the same team.
