It's fair. No problem with it if it fills a need for you.

yeah, I keep thinking what to comment on this one.  And truthfully it's a pretty fair trade that's completely dependent on what your needs are.  It looks like you're trading away points for most other stats.  Here's how it looks in BBM, a little tilted toward the LMA side of things:

Thanks for ur comments. I can ignore LMA and Stuckey's FT% but w/o their pts I may lose this cat in most cases. As ur projection, I will improve cats like 3/ast/stl/blk/to/FG%, that's actually what I want. But what I concern most is the situation about Brand, can he earn 28mins under Dirk/Kaman and whatever minutes he get, 0.9stl and 1.5blk I think are just too much for him.

Why not?  Last season he had 1.0 Stl and 1.6 blck in 29 minutes.

There's 96 minutes to split in the big man spots PF/C.  The big 3 that will get those minutes are Nowitzki, Kaman and Brand.  Even if you figure 16 minutes go to scrubs, 80 minutes to split between the 3 of them are about 26.5-27 minutes each.  Then you figure Kaman is injury prone, 79 games played last 2 seasons, and Nowitzki is having knee problems, I can see Brand getting some minutes.
