it seems you triggas have been pretty depressed with the current results, Mavs have lost 6 of the past 8 games and it looks that they will continue to lose. maybe they can still clinch a playoff ticket at the end of day, but there will be no chance they can make the 2nd round if they take on the Lakers or the Spurs in the first round. Triggas are still a top4 on the western standing but the season is far from done, triggas still need to win games, and they need to win now.
trades must be made if they want to avoid another 1st round elimination. butler is done for season but his expiring contract remains a valuable asset that can be made some good use of. stats are a solid reflection of a player's ability but that shouldn't be the only element to consider when you are making a move for this player.
Iggy looks a better player stat-wise than anyone on mavs squad outside of dirk, the same with S-Jax as well, but I don't see neither of them making a significant improvement. They are the main scorers of their teams, but they would be relegated to the #2 if they joined the mavs. it's unknown if iggy or S-Jack would fit the role of a #2, and the mavs would need to surrender a lot of talents for them, which would potentially affect the team's chemistry.
Mavs were the western champions in 06. although they later lost to wade/shaq/refs in the finals regretfully, they were undeniably the better side all the way through the series. they only lost the games due to back luck and corruptive officials. The defending champs Miami Heat only finished 8th in the east the very next season, while the mavs sat atop the league with a formidable record of 67-15.
so my advice is quite simple, get them all back and we stacked again. they know how this team works so they will mesh up with the team quickly and start to contribute. plus, more importantly, they were all so proud of our 06' success. although they all got exiled by the mavs over the past years, they can forgive the mistakes the team made because they love this team. they once got banished but they still love the team as always. The aspirants will soldier up and win us another western championship, or even an NBA championship.
so here is my 6-point plan to get done all:
1. trade JJB + Ajinca + exceptions if needed to Washington for Smokey + fillers
2. stevenson to boston for Marcus Daniels + filler
3. Butler for Devin straight up
4. Haywood to Charlotte for Desagana
5. Get dampier back from Miami, sending mahinmi in exchange
6. get back Stack using a minimum filler acquired from the previous deals, or trade Brian Cardinal straight up for him.
