Steve Kyler: I can tell you that after Bill wrote that piece, Mavs sources clarified a few items... #1 - they have zero interest in Sammy D for many of the reason listed above... #2- they'd love to get their hands on Andre Iguodala and his salary is not much of a concern if they could obtain him.
The Mavs have shopped Josh Howard, Matt Carroll and Drew Gooden... they will not move Erick Dampier... while he's got short comings as a player, he plays hard, they like his toughness and he has a lot of value because of how his contract is structured and the Mavs are not giving that up. - they view that as a sizable chip in a sign and trade deal next summer.
