Why would we cut Jack? He'd instantly become the best PG on the team behind Wall. That said, je's a pretty important player on their team. I don't see them giving him as well as the pick, but I like the premise of the trade. Maybe plug in Brandon Rush in place of Jack (Rush is out for the year with a knee injury). Basically, they'd be giving up 2 useless players (Biedrins and Rush) for one very useful player who costs the same amount of money for the same duration. As compensation, they give us a first round pick. Maybe Rush comes back next year as a useful wing man.

Personally i dont think it will, they need a better defender and rebounder next to Dirk. If they add Roddy Beaubois to the deal it makes the trade work. Unfortunately he is also expiring, if he was still on that cheap deal, it would be perfect.
Dallas is poised to get way under the cap this summer. I don't think they'll take on extra salary. It makes more sense for them to wait until the offseason and go after Dwight Howard, or at least somebody like Josh Smith.
