Mavs register interest in Kings' Martin

I don't see how Philly and the Mavs are a good trade partner, they want to dump major salary for Iggy, and the Mavs don't have all that much to give up really. I don't think Damp will be involved in a major trade during the season.

The Sixers want to dump salary, and if you believe the reports from the national media they've now realized that they've got almost zero chance of unloading Dalembert or Brand. That being the case, the Mavs' likely unwillingness to swap out Damp for one of those giant contracts shouldn't, by itself, be prohibitive of the two sides agreeing to a trade centered around Iggy and Josh. It's really going to come down to how much of a premium Philly puts on cash savings versus draft picks and cheap young'ns. If their focus is on cutting payroll Dallas is pretty close to an ideal trade partner for them.
