Jefferson to Dallas?

This "rumor" says Dallas is looking at adding Jefferson and Paul next summer. Who could we get for Big Al now?

p.s. I live it. We get rid of Al AND weaken a western team all in one swoop.
 
I know the Mavs were the other team looking at adding Jefferson when the Wolves were shopping him.
 
even if the rumor is true, it doesn't say that dallas wants to trade for him... just that they might be holding onto their cap flexibility to go after him next summer.

that said, if they were going to be talked into taking him now, they wouldn't give up anything hugely valuable since they could get him next summer without giving up assets. i don't see us getting any picks, for example, but they'd have to send us at least 10M or so our way. maybe something like haywood + jones.

The Mavs used the amnesty clause on Haywood. He's with the Bobcats now.
 
If they are willing to pay the big money for EITHER of them, fine with me. Frees up space for youngsters.
So yeah, I think it would help us out to lose one of them and not have to pay. However, either one going to Dallas will make them better, dont let your hate fool you.

Haywood got amnestied. Marion (+ JAE ****ING CROWDER) seems to make some sense.

Pfft, if we traded for Clam ****ING Chowder hed just be buried in the bench behind Marvelous and DeMarre Casserole
 
Only value for trading him at the deadline to Dallas is they would have then have his rights and could offer him a longer and more lucrative contract. Otherwise, they'll just go after him as an UFA. What's scary is the writer's opinion that Jefferson is worth close to the MAX.

One way or another, this is the last season of having both Jefferson AND Millsap. We better hope Derrick and Enes take major leaps.
 
oops, forgot about haywood. sorry, was just going off of shamsports' page and forgot about the amnesty.

marion works, too, but makes very little sense for the jazz. i think they need to get a big man back in a trade, so as to not have kanter playing 30 mpg when he doesn't appear quite ready for that. my ideal jefferson haul would be a true PG and a backup big, with maybe a draft pick thrown in for good measure.

(hey, a girl can dream...)

Marion can play the 4. And at this stage in his career, that's probably exactly what suits him best anyway.

so what you're advocating is something like this:

favors - kanter
sap - trix - evans
marv - crowder - carroll
hayward - burks - foye
mo - watson - tinsley

that's not bad, i could be talked into that. although marion is not the most physical post defender, so him at the 4 probably doesn't work in EVERY situation. against second-unit PFs though, sure. then if we could just upgrade the backup PG, we'd be fairly deep everywhere.
