The obvious ones are for Dirk, Nash, and Luka.
But for fun I really do think an underrated one would be for Shawn Marion. I remember it being very complicated at the time.
The trade:
TOR: Antoine Wright, Deven George, and Hedo Turkoglu
DAL: Marion SnT to Mavs for 5yr/38mil+Kris Humphries
MEM: Money+Stackhouse (who will later get bought out).
Orlando: gets a TPE for sending Hedo for free.
This trade has so many little interesting tidbits. The Mavs were very creative here where Stackhouse was traded to Toronto and then subsequently traded to Memphis for him to get bought out. They also finally traded George, who not but 1 year earlier almost killed the trade for bringing Kidd back to Dallas because he had a no trade clause. And it was because of George the Mavs exploited an insane loophole using Van Horn's rights (even though he was retired) to make it happen.
Further, just in terms of talent acquisition:
Stackhouse was on his last legs, didn't really fit well since JET was the ideal 6th man and Kidd was the lead guard. And he fell out of the rotation.
George barely played and he was ass.
Wright was ok but honestly was a whatever player
For freaking Shawn Marion.
