I don't think Jefferson is going anywhere. I don't think they would try to rebuild around Finley, at his age. I think you are more likely to see something like this: IF anything were to happen.

TRADE ACCEPTED


This way NJ gets out from under 2 contracts they don't want. Get an expiring contract in Henderson back. A Big in Booth, and a guy to build around in Terry.

Not sure that Mark wants to take the chance on Kidd/Mourning though with age and injuries.

** your trade would probably in the long run be better for the Mavs, but I just don't see it happening from a NJ standpoint.

I really like this trade as well but I dont see Cuban doing this because of the high risks involved. It would be very nice having someone of Mourning's caliber coming off of the bench behind Damp and having a pg combo of Kidd and Harris, but there are too many questions surrounding this move.

I can see NJ doing this if their team continues to play in the dumps but doing so would be an official rebuilding statement. That is something that's hard to do when you've been so successful in the recent past.

Overall, it would be good for us but dont count on this one happening.
