ChosenOne Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Terrible news for the Mavs. Expect them to start making offers to Denver for Melo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I think they may look to trade with a team like Detroit or Charlotte. Rip Hamilton would play well in their offense as would a guy like Stephen Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pardon me if I am mistaken) You can trade any player you want as long as he is under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 This news sucks for the Mavs, just when things worked, and then injuries had to happen. Terrible news for the Mavs. Expect them to start making offers to Denver for Melo. Yea I have a feeling with Butler out, the Mavs (Cuban) are gonna take a serious look at rent-a-Melo thing... Marc Stein said they're willing to trade for Melo and risk losing him if he doesn't sign extension. I wonder who they will offer us in return.

I'd guess picks, Roddy B, Haywood, Dominique Jones, and Butler for Melo and Balkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 they don't have the young assets needed to acquire Melo. I could see them going after Rip and Prince, as they could use some help at both the 2 and 3 positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Tough blow, the Mavs are seriously going to miss having him out there. Terry and Marion are going to have step up and help fill the gap. I do like the idea of Dallas acquiring either Richard Hamilton or Jackson. Brendan Haywood + Stevenson + Dominque Jones for Hamilton works in the trade checker. Jackson would take a lot more to get though. I wonder if Dallas is willing to move Butler and his $10 million expiring contract, there would be a lot of takers during the trade deadline.

Dash Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 They have Roddy B and DoJo... Neither are good enough to get Melo. There are so many other teams that have more to offer than the Mavs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Brendan Haywood + Stevenson + Dominque Jones for Hamilton works in the trade checker.that's too much for Hamilton. besides, Detroit wouldn't want Haywood's big contract. if they're going to trade Hamilton, Prince, or both, they'll want expiring contracts, young players, and/or picks. that's why I suggested they trade for Hamilton and Prince in a package deal. Detroit could unload the big contract of Hamilton and get expiring contracts in exchange. they'd probably have to get more teams involved, but yeah, I definitely think Dallas would be willing to trade Butler. They have Roddy B and DoJo...you can't honestly think that's enough for Melo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted January 5, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Denver wants draft picks, expiring contracts and young talent. Dallas can't offer all of that. It's really out of the question, unless they trade Dirk...and at that point, I don't see why Melo would sign that extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think they may take a look at Jamison from Cleveland. He should be very available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballorama Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Hamilton or Prince would be pretty nice to have.. Jackson as well.. I'll miss Butler this season .. he was doing really well also so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think they may take a look at Jamison from Cleveland. He should be very available.he's more of a four. they need a true perimeter player who can make outside shots and defend. they have a lot of options. they could start Marion at the three and go after a two, keep Marion on the bench and go after a two and a three, and they still have to decide whether or not to trade the expiring contracts of Butler and Stevenson. I know Butler has done a lot for this franchise, but if he's out for the rest of the year, I see no reason for them to keep him. they could trade his expiring contract, as well as Stevenson's if they so wish, and get a nice player or two in exchange. if you look at the starting lineup, you already know Kidd, Dirk, and Chandler are gonna be there at the one, four, and five, respectively. what they have to do now is decide whether or not to go after a starting two and three or just start Marion at the three and go after a two. I still think Hamilton and Prince in a package deal is their best option. Detroit is horrible and they're on the verge of rebuilding. you gotta think Rip is on the block, especially considering Ben Gordon's emergence. Dallas could take Hamilton and Prince off their hands and Detroit could get expiring contracts, young guys, and maybe a pick or two in exchange. Dallas' rotation would then look something like this (assuming they deal Butler and Stevenson): Kidd/TerryHamilton/JonesPrince/MarionDirk/AjincaChandler/Haywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 lol I was typing too fast and I must have been thinking about "Get well soon CB" and "They will get rid of him if they can get Melo" so I combined the two together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
