Any word in Dallas...? - Page 2 - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Sounds like the Philly trade is dead, but wanted to comment on it one more time. Philly was not going to give up Dalembert.

Seattle sports radio is reporting that Dallas has a deal in place with GSW for the #11. Stay tuned

what about we send them Walker/#5 for Damp/#11...then go hard after McGrady and screw LA.

Dampier is no Shaq.

I think TAW and Fortson would be around 10 mill together. If that's the case I know no one signed Potapenko for that amount of money.

Dallas trades: SG Michael Finley (18.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.9 apg in 38.6 minutes)
Dallas receives: C Samuel Dalembert (8.0 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 0.3 apg in 26.8 minutes)
SF Glenn Robinson (16.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 1.4 apg in 31.9 minutes)
Change in team outlook: +6.0 ppg, +7.6 rpg, and -1.2 apg.

TRADE ACCEPTED

Why would that be a joke? I think it is a very good option if any valididty to it. If it were to happen then we would have moved Jamison and Finley's long-term contracts into one year contracts for the most part.

Even if the Shaq deal never materializes you sure have some solid trading chips to use for your next best options. Say you want Dampier as your second choice. Must better chance of getting him in a SnT. Plus, your center rotation is Dampier/Dalembert/Bradley/#9

Dirk, Nash, Daniels, Howard all still on the roster.

The trade would be a joke IF the trade is not leading up to a Shaq trade. Finley is a MUCH better player than Robinson - the straight up trade is the one that I said was a joke. There is a limit to how valuable ANOTHER expiring contract is without a goal. The alternative trade that I suggested is slightly more reasonable (where we get Dalembert) but it is still one-sided to Philly.
