Read on Hoopshype that LAC want to move both Ely and Marko because Clipps want to clear some more cap space next year. Chicago tribune is speculating that Fizer could be traded for that combo. This deal works on RealGM, though I am not sure the marketing angle is enough of an incentive. The didn't keep Wang even though there is a large Chinese community. But you never know. I think it is more than good value from the Mavs perspective for Najera. Mamadou would have to go today to clear roster space.

Dallas trades: SF Eduardo Najera (3.3 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 0.4 apg in 13.7 minutes)
Dallas receives: SG Marko Jaric (8.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.3 apg in 28.6 minutes)
PF Melvin Ely (4.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 0.6 apg in 14.8 minutes)
Change in team outlook: +8.9 ppg, +2.6 rpg, and +4.5 apg.

L.A. Clippers trades: SG Marko Jaric (8.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg, 4.3 apg in 28.6 minutes)
PF Melvin Ely (4.0 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 0.6 apg in 14.8 minutes)
L.A. Clippers receives: SF Eduardo Najera (3.3 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 0.4 apg in 28 games)
Change in team outlook: -8.9 ppg, -2.6 rpg, and -4.5 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED
