Although I wish the rumors would go away for a while, I don't think this kills the Mavs possible involvement in any Rasheed deal. You're deluding yourself if you think that Miles answers all that team's problems. If anything, he may make Rasheed more of a tradeable commodity. Now, they have another athletic body to play at the 3 if they need. I still believe that Rasheed gets traded this season. This may even help speed that along. But as long as that idea is out there, Dallas will be linked to him - fairly or not.

I do think this proves one thing though. Zydrunas Ilgauskus will not be traded to Portland. If so, I think it would have happened in this deal. Mark one suitor off that list.
