Has Carlisle run out of ideas/does he need a mental/physical break?

It's all relative, for sure. There's bad money and then there's BAD MONEY. 

We can quibble over the details of specific scenarios. What I'm saying is THANK GOD they're not going Juwon Howard --> Van Exel/Lafrentz --> Jamison/Walker --> Stackhouse, etc etc etc

You are free to disagree, but what I see is a team trying to do something different than what almost completely wasted Dirk's career, and I'm here for it.

I just don't see it as very different from the team that wasted the last years of Dirk's prime.  They need to realize that Dallas isn't an attractive destination for agents/players and they are going to need to make concessions to build a contender.  

The clock is also ticking.  Luka probably isn't going to have Dirk's patience or loyalty, not many players do.
