Do you think we'll make a major trade before the deadline?

He's a talented player, but adding him won't help.

The only trade I could see right now that's not Carmelo or something huge is a cheap back up point guard, maybe someone like Luke Ridnour, who is a very high percentage shooter. JJ just can't break out of his funk, and though Roddy is coming back, perhaps a veteran option wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm not saying Ridnour's available, but a player like him I think would be a good fit.

Ridnour would indeed be a nice pick up. or Boobie Gibson. both can hit the 3. Telfair is more likely than Ridnour to be dealt. since Flynn came back his minutes are really down. Telfair's actually shooting pretty well this year too but he turns the ball over alot.

i guess we know where you stand on Telfair
i don't like the guy either. just throwing some names out there.
and he is actually shooting a decent % from 3 this year.

Yeah, Telfair is not exactly what I'd be looking for. The availability is there, true, which I think is the reason you brought him up. I'd rather have an older, consistent guy who could come in if Roddy's just out of control and execute the offense efficiently. Not sure if there's a such player on the market, but if there is, I'd hope the Mavericks take a look.
