essentially,

nets trade kidd, allen, and armstrong, receive about 20 million in expiring deals and rashad mccants (promising young shooter who will be inexpensive for the next couple years), plus maybe a first rounder from dallas or a protected future number one from minnesota

williams, (fa)
carter, mccants, wright
jefferson, nachbar
williams, diop
boone, krstic, magliore


dallas trades harris, stackhouse, diop, george, jones, and ager (and possibly a pick) and receives kidd, allen, armstrong, and gerald green. the obvious result is acquiring kidd, and the loss of stackhouse is mitigated by gerald green, who can replace most of his scoring off the bench. they give up a lot of bodies but retain their depth. of course, this would be even better if it accompanies a carter trade, allowing the nets to truly go young.

kidd, barea
terry, green
howard, hassell
nowitski, bass
dampier, juwan howard

and finally, minnesota trades ratliff, doleac, mccants, and green for devin harris, stackhouse, and ager, thus giving up only mccants and green, who wasn't playing anyway, for harris, who would give the team a considerable upgrade at point guard, where their only prospect is sebastian telfair. this allows foye to move over to 2 guard where he is a better fit. stackhouse can either mentor the young players or be waived/bought out.

harris, telfair
foye, jaric
stackhouse, brewer
gomes, walker
jefferson, smith

to me, this seems far better than the three way scenarios with portland. i'd rather pick up mccants than jack or outlaw or frye, and the blazers had to give up too much of their depth to acquire harris.
 
We get the scoring version of Wright. Maybe Dallas includes Fez or Barea for at least the future because it's merely a salary dump.

Depends which way you're looking at it. Seems Thorn wants to see playoffs this year. He was quoted talking about the 6 straight playoff appearances. But give him a reality check, this is the best deal going forward. McCants and pick, save 20 million next year. Earn a lottery pick this year. The Portland deal, you only save what about 8 million next year.
 
Are you sure the Wolves would want Harris over McCants and Green?
 
Kidd is worth more than McCants. McCants shoots three-pointers and commits turnovers and does nothing else. Would you be in favor of dealing Kidd for JJ Reddick?
