Trade Deadline? - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

DallasMavs412004 · 02-11-2009, 01:20 AM

Just curious what do you think the Dallas Mavericks will do before the deadline? Also, what do you expect from around the league?

If they aren't willing to take bdiddy and kaman for jkiddo..then they are doing nothing.

I want Amare to be moved before the All-Star game to the Eastern Conference only because I want to see what the NBA would do with the All-Star rosters.

You do realize that Baron and Kaman are drawing a combined 109 million in salary over the lives of their contracts, and will jointly cost 26 million in the 2011/12 season alone?

And so? Cuban can't afford that? Pffft. Are we really gonna land Lebron or Dwayne Wade? Come on why would either of them come to the Mavs?

It's time to realize Cuban isn't refusing this trade because of the money. He's refusing this trade because he would be admitting he made a mistake in the Kidd trade a year ago, and he's too stubborn to do that.

I think that making a trade like that would validate his trade of a year ago. He sould say, look, we esentially turned Harris into a center and a good PG. But, I do think it was wise to refuse this trade.

And yes, The Mavs will make a move, although I am not sure anymore it will be huge, more then likely a vetern PG that can be had on the cheap.

Thank you.

I wouldn't mind getting Kaman alone though. I would think it would involve a package of Stack and other players.

darkwitzki · 02-11-2009, 10:59 AM

I think no major moves for the Mavs this season, except for some minor changes c/o stackhouse, they will go to war (palyoffs) with the pieces they have now.

SMC0007 · 02-11-2009, 11:42 AM

Probably not gonna see any major moves from us as far as our starters are concerned. That's my prediction. MAYBE a minor move on the bench toward the end of the rotation at best.

Is this confirmed? Did we really turn this down?! I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Oh, I'm quite sure there's some stubbornness in Mavs land regarding the Kidd trade. If you're looking for the source, though, don't look at the front office. I think you'll find it's a coming from a bit closer to home.

twosauce · 02-12-2009, 06:14 PM

I want Baron Davis as much as anyone does. But i just dont see it happening. Might as well get a Felton or a Conley or a Louis Williams for next year. The draft is what I am looking forward to. I hope we draft a point or a sg that is rated higher than "Usher".

bobatundi · 02-12-2009, 09:32 PM

I'm thinking Ty Lawson might be on the board when we draft, and after watching last night's Duke/UNC game, count me in.

toby451 · 02-13-2009, 12:58 AM

The Nets and Mavericks have discussed a trade that would send Vince Carter to Dallas, a league source familiar with the discussions said Thursday night.

The proposed deal, which isn’t imminent, would send Carter, Keyon Dooling and Eduardo Najera to the Mavericks for Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse.

The San Antonio Spurs are also pursuing Carter and have discussed a proposal that would include Roger Mason, Bruce Bowen and Fabricio Oberto.

For the Nets, dealing Carter would be a financial move.

Thats on realgm, so take it for what you will.

Thats a lot of salary to take, but I would do that.Although after tonights game I would take about anything for Josh.

I'm over the rumors - someone needs to start showing some proof in action...

True, but to be fair, I said that getting Vince Carter was my dark horse trade way back when.

I'll be expecting positive rep if it happens

.

They also discussed it on the post-game show on 103.3.

ghazi · 02-13-2009, 01:39 AM

Is Vince Carter really gonna make a difference?

Better player than Josh, but by enough?

Also, didnt Kidd/carter have issues ?

rabbitproof · 02-13-2009, 01:46 AM

I assume we have Kidd's OK if Vince comes in.

This doesn't really take us to the Boston/Lakers/Cavs/Spurs/Magic level though so I wouldn't be happy if that's all we do...

What's his deal? If it jacks up 2010, I'm more disappointed.

DevinHarriswillstart · 02-13-2009, 02:03 AM

Nobody around here is pleased with any trade these days.

I hate to break it to the board, but I doubt any type of last year's Gasol trade will happen. I know we all wish Stackhouse alone would bring us that missing piece but come on....time for reality.

I'd trade Josh for Vince without crying over it.

mac222b · 02-13-2009, 03:46 AM

I've said this before but Dirk and VC would be lethal together with Kidd feeding them. Wouldn't exactly help our perimeter defense though. And it leaves us without any other real trade chips. I guess our bench would get a little lift in Dooling and Najera too. I've always hated VC but can't deny his ability to drop 25-30 points and get easy buckets would help alot right now.

Zki41 · 02-13-2009, 09:45 AM

Think of it this way ... who would help Dirk's game more? VC or Josh? Who has more assists, and who is more likely to stay guarded or get double timed which would give Dirk an easier time on shooting?

Nothing is ever guaranteed, but it would be better to gamble now while Dirk can still play as opposed to potentially wait until 2010, and get nothing.

GermanFan · 02-14-2009, 02:03 PM

a few weeks ago dallas would have been happy to get VC 4 Houward

Dirkadirkastan · 02-14-2009, 02:39 PM

But Kidd doesn't like VC anymore.

Yeah but doesn't Kidd want to win? Don't you think he'd get over it if he thought he could win a championship?

VC would make a huge difference on this team. He could be a LEGIT #2 for Dirk... which Josh will never, ever be.

Kidd took a team to the finals with VC as his #1. Imagine what he could do on a team with VC as his #2 and the likes of Terry as his #3.

Kidd's no fool, he has to know this would massively improve their chances, and it's not like VC slept with his wife or something.

Sure VC has attitude problems, but that's alright. That's easier to put up with when he's not your primary scoring option.
