They are then stuck with Stack, Finley and Walker. Both Stack and Finley are SG's, and Walker is really a PF. They don't like Walker at all as he is a waste in there lineup. Having Stack or Finley on the bench is silly when you have Howard and Daniels. They still need a defensive big. They need a true SF to either start or come of the bench to at least be able to play a traditional lineup when it is beneficial.

So how about this trade:

Walker and Finley to NY for KT, TT, Deke, Trybanski, and OH, it work in realgm.

Dallas gets Thomas who they want for defense, they get rid of Walker. They get a SF and get rid of one of there SG's, and they have soured on Finley recently as well. They also OH Deke who are nice hussle bigs to provide some toughness of the bench for them. They then sine lets say Blount or Dampier to the MLE.

Now Dallas has a lineup of:
C Blount/Deke/Podkolzine/Bradley
PF KT/OH/Najera
SF Dirk/TT/Howard
SG Stack/Howard/Daniels
PG Nash/Daniels/Harris
They still have a ton of scoring, but also some much imroved D.

Lets say we sine and trade Mohammed for Dampier cause we become contedners with that trade and he wants to come. We also sine Doleac with the LLE.
C Dampier/Doleac
PF Walker/Sweetney
SF Penny/Houston/Demarr/Ariza
SG Finley/Houston/Demarr
PG Marbury/FW/Barret
IL Anderson, Mooch, Lamizina
We are much better defensively too, and we have a ton of scoring as well. As far as I can see this trade makes both teams better. Penny and Finely are like day and night compared to TT and Houston on D.

Not a bad deal at all but I wouldn't do that trade in the end just because I'm not too crazy about bringing Finley in at the expense of TT. Finley wouldn't really serve any purpose if Houston is healthy because I would definitely start Allan over Mike. Plus, having Penny in the starting lineup just scares me because of his past injuries. Penny has always been on of my favorite players and I still think he can be a decent starter but if he gets injured your screwed. I would try to do a different deal going after Antonie Walker alone.

Finley is 6-7 225 and would start at SF here with Houston at SG if we were somehow able to get him. Finley is better than TT in every way...better scorer, rebounder, defender and distributor.

I never said Dallas would take it. The only reason they would take it is money...Finley is 30 or 31 and is owed 65+ million for the next 4 years. Of course Dallas is one of the few teams willing to spend nearly as much as us, so the point of them saving money is moot.
