"Nobody else is quite sure what to make of Miles, either. He's a streaky player and has yet to show discipline on either end of the floor or a consistent jump shot. More important, it opens the door for them to move Shareef Abdur-Rahim. The Blazers have said they wanted Abdur-Rahim to start at small forward, but Abdur-Rahim says he won't play there. And the Blazers are building around young Zach Randolph at power forward while also trying to get an extension done for him. In any event, there is plenty of confusion over their plan for the future and who they want to build around. But sources say Abdur-Rahim has no intention of coming to Portland in a month when the Blazers begin training camp. Anyone interested in an unhappy power forward with a one-year, $14.6 million contract?" CBS Sportsline


I believe this would help Dallas at PF. I think Nowitzki and Rahim can do well together as long as he gets enough minutes and he knows dirk is the man.

He could improve his stats and repair his rep in Dallas.

Dallas could either fit him in or trade him at the deadline. Even if Dallas put him on IR until a trade, I don't think it would kill Dallas. Booth is no stud and will henderson even play? It is worth a try.

i think we would have to give more than that to get Rahim. Josh Howard might have to be included. I dont think that the mavs need another star PF. I wonder if Cuban would do hendu/booth/howard for rahim. It is interesting

If he is going to be a backup, he will get more minutes behind Miles/Randolf than behind Dirk/Fin,Stack,Howard. Dallas is not where he wants to go.

He would be Walker all over again
