Yeah, they're all a lot of maybes. But I'd rather cover my bets and grab a buncha maybes rather than hang all my hopes on one hand.

Sigh. You're right.

Adams and Bullock sound fine to me. I like the tanking next year too.
I think this Mavs trading #13 rumor is just a rumor though... the draft is the best place to get quality players on the cheap. For the 13th pick it'll cost the Mavs $1.6mil to get a potential serviceable big man in Gobert/Adams. You're not gonna be able to do better than that for the same amount of talent in the FA market.
Mavs are probably just gauging interests... unless they get a bombshell of an offer, they'd probably keeping the pick...

Guess I'll have to do some checking on Adams, but right now I'm on the Gobert train.
It's not that simple. They'd be getting >$10 million in cap space, and if they think they can get both Dwight and CP3, then that likely is the difference in getting both or getting neither. Getting some project big from France or some project big from New Zealand hardly looks good in comparison.
Good post. They need to make a decision as to if and how they are going to re-tool around Dirk. Young rookies may not help their cause much.

Can't they just amnesty Marion then? I don't remember them using that on anyone else yet. So that's $9.3mil gone.
Losing a pick just to save $1.6mil is hardly gonna make a difference in signing Howard.

According to hoopshype.com Chad Ford is reporting that the Mavericks are more then likely to trade the 13th pick to save money for a potential run at Howard.

They clearly used it on Brendan Haywood.

The Dirk/Howard inside out game would be nasty. Much better than anything he'll ever see in LA anytime soon. I could see why Cuban likes his chances of getting Howard.
