Is there any opportunity here for the Mavs to get in on Luol Deng?

He's under contract through 2014, which if acquired by our beloved Mavs, takes us out of the DHo free agency sweepstakes, but inserts a great third player next to Dirk and Deron if he signs.

According to rumors, the Warriors are interested in getting Deng, but have no salary relief or cap space to execute on the trade, while a trade of Odom, Carter, and the #17 pick for Deng works.

This also gives you the ability to put better assets into place aside from Marion, Haywood when Dwight inevitably demands another trade next season. The other thing this does is it allows you to free up a ton of cap space with Dirk, Marion, and Deng all coming off the cap after the 2013-2014 season.

Thoughts?
