Dallas-Toronto trade proposal
Marion, Dominique Jones and Beaubois for Kleiza and Calderon.
Why for Toronto--Moves Calderon, cleaning up the point guard spot, improves their strength at small forward and brings in a couple of young prospects. Why for Dallas--Brings in an experience back-up point guard, makes room for Crowder to play more minutes at SF, while keeping an experienced long range shooter in the position in Kleiza, lowers the amount of salary under the cap for next year and opens up a roster spot. I think this trade is worth it for Dallas because I believe Crowder is the real thing and by next year will be the starting small forward. In the meantime Kleiza isn't a bad player. I don't trust any of Dallas's current options to play back up point guard and, although very weak on defense, Calderon can keep the offense from stalling when he's in the game. Dallas line up: Collison/Calderon Mayo/D. Jones/Cunningham Kleiza/Crowder/Carter Dirk/Wright Kaman/Brand/some Third Center for emergencies |

That's terrible, sorry. Talent-wise we lose this trade big time, and it doesn't make sense even for short term. You basically give up Marion for a backup point, and Roddy (who earns peanuts) for a very average/bad (at this point) player in Kleiza, who has a 4 million player option for the 2013/2014 season. Just an awful, awful trade for the Mavs.

That is a terrible deal for the Raptors. They take on more salary, end up with less flexibility and don't really improve while being stuck with Marion's contract for the next two years.

So far the opinions are either 1) the Mavs really get screwed; or 2) Toronto really get screwed.
Interesting. |

I hate the idea of trading Marion right now unless we're fleecing the other team.
