Felton has been hurt and is also due a 4 game suspension. Mekel hasn't played bad, but he's a limited player who is a borderline NBA talent. I think the Mavs would like to trade Felton so they can clear cap space for next year, so that's one possible motivation for this move, but more likely it's just them being opportunistic and upgrading the bottom of their roster (JJB > Mekel).
