gimme some input. This gives Dallas 2 big men and 2 great perimeter defenders. And everyone else is getting what theyve been talking about trading for

[LRB]

Despite the chance to get rid of Best I just don't like this trade. We give too much and get too little. No.

[grndmstr_c]

No. There's not a single player we'd be receiving who's in AJ's class, and the big men we'd get are not appreciably better than what will be available in free agency this offseason.

[u2sarajevo]

I like Ratliff..... but no.

[Dirkenstien]

I like the notion of the trade, but giving away Najera and Jamison may be too much to give away for an aging Ratliff and Williams. Jackson would be a good pickup but Josh Howard has a chance of being better than Jackson.

Overall, this trade gives us defense and toughness down low but may hurt the club in the long run

[seelenjaeger]

We cannot trade Travies Best as far as I know since we signed him to a 1-year deal / vet minimum. Those are - as far as I know - not eligible to be traded.

In addition - thi sis a horrible trade talentwise for the Mavs.
