Why Dallas Made the Trade

[wayray@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

1. Dump LaFrentz's long term contract.

2. Walker can leave after the season, creating cap space.
Hell, he could re-sign with the Celtics next season. Perish the thought! Or perhaps Dallas will deal him at trading deadline.

3. They neded to create minutes for Fortson at center, as they need his rebounding and for him to play big minutes a game.

4. Apparently they like the idea of a Walker - Jamison forward combo.

5. Delk gives them a bench scorer.
