Wow guys,you don't have to like the Mavs(can hardly blame ya) but disrespecting a player who just suffered a major injury is whack. No one deserves this.
Great, hope he makes it back from injury after the spurs win #5. Is that showing enough sportsmanship for you?

Who disrespected him in this thread? Nobody. Now STFU.
Spurs would win a championship.
You are not a Spur.
You win nothing.
DAMN, that sucks for Dallas.
So Dallas would shuffle the deck chairs on the anic again by trading injured players to bad organizations (like Charlotte)? Michael Jordan is now better at turning a buck then winning games now that he can't get out on the court.
These mid season trades have never worked for Dallas and they get bad contracts in return. I wouldn't mind the little French guy going to the eastern conference because he has a chance to be really good down the road if he isn't a China doll.
What I don't get is how an NBA organization can justify to its fans that hope is alive by bringing in a guy with a healing broken foot and another with a torn patella tendon. The NBA is messed up right now in that regard.
The NFL does not allow teams to trade players who cannot pass a physical. They are a much better business model than the NBA right now.

As Mr. Cuban has showed us over the last 10-11 years, it doesn't really matter what he wants. NJ is about a 90% odds on favorite, since they have FIVE first rounders in the next two drafts to play with, and younger, non-injured talent like Harris and Favors to make the deal work, in addition to being much closer to NY (Carmello's preferred destination) than Dallas is.
Houston has been attempting to get trade offers for Yao Ming (who is out for the season) for several weeks now.
Denver won't trade to a Western conf. power.
I can't lie, this is good news. I wish him a slow and monotonous recovery, get well later Caron
Caron Butler will most likely be traded. May see Terry and or Hayward go as well. Someone like Mo Williams from the Cavs, Andre Iguodala, Joe Johnson, Stephen Jackson, or Gerald Wallace may return.
Giving up Beaubois will be like Devin Harris all over again
I hope they do
so he can flourish into the solid player he can be
Allas
They would for the right price. Dallas just doesn't have what Denver wants.
I just saw the highlights from the Mavs most recent game versus the Bucks. What was so weird about the Butler injury was the fact that he sustained it on takeoff, not landing. IRRC, didn't Caron Butler have some early-career knee injury?
Sucks for Dallas. We have a good chance to widen our division lead with him out but please don't over estimate his worth. The Spurs are the better team with or without him. No trade at this point is going to put them over us.
They still lack the killer instinct to win a championship and that won't change with Gerald Wallace or Carmelo Anthony. Neither of those guys can stop Tony Parker.
KG had the same situation. They're both on the wrong side of 30, so I'd call it wear and tear and overuse.
It sucks. You can't be happy over an injury.
Mavs and Lakers have both recently lost 3 games in a row which give Spurs a little breathing room. Spurs have now 4 less losses than Dallas and 6 less losses than Lakers.
If the injury is a season ending one, Butler has now no trade value aside of having an expiring contract. Beaubois has also very little trade value until he proves he is healthy again. All in all, Mavs have very little to offer in trade talks.
Sucks for Mavs and Butler, injuries are a terrible way to go.
I wonder if Butler's prior laziness and weight loss in the summer might've caused this injury....stressing out your body because its a contract year and because Cuban thinks you're fat can have some bad results especially if your body has to play a physical marathon called the NBA season afterwards. Thats the power of a Nash lifestyle.

It would be a smart move by Cuban (excpet for J. Johnson's contract)...
As much as I love Beaubois, I think he is way overated by the mavs fans/FO.
He was just average during the summer league and isn't a real PG.
But there's such a hype about him, that it's a good time to trade him!
Don't need a salary cap for teams to want to dump salary. Remember A-Rod to NYY?
Lotta gnsf dumbassness in this thread tbh
Nothing personal against Caron Butler, but if it means the spurs are in the drivers seat come playoff time (not having to worry about the mavs) I'm happy as a clam. I'm sure there will be 10 posters flaming me for "disrespecting" Butler yet I'm sure Mark Cuban could give a less about Butler and would trade his ass in a heartbeat if it helped him win a championship. Friggin' hypocrites.
I don't think that's being a hypocrite, exactly. Saying one thing and doing the opposite (unless you're going for irony), would be being a hypocrite--not behaving as someone else might (Which is just acting like a lemming--but without the humor).
OTOH, taking some pride in supporting a "classy" organization but not behaving in a "classy" manner might qualify as being a hypocrite if you stretch the definition a bit.
Damn at least a partially torn patella tendon
not a good look at all for him or the Mavs.
