Like I've said before, Kemp > Sanders.
Since the Mavs already have a full roster and everyone else is scheduled to be avalilable for the playoffs (right?), the exception seems like a long shot.
No reason why we can't make a call.

i think everyone is making too big of a deal over this signing. kemp is only gonna be used sparingly for the mavs as an extra body against the spurs big men. i dont think they are looking for him to do major damage
Yeah I would rather have Josh Powell play than an over the hill Kemp.
I'm sure our opponents' fans thought the same about GRob.
In smoking?
Oh well, it is 6 hard fouls at least I guess. Grats Mav fans.
Vbookie on his sperm count?
They are trying to Match our bench against Rasho and Oberto.

Even if the Mavericks were ready to sign Shawn Kemp -- which they're not -- they can't. Not yet.
Dallas can't add a player unless it releases someone to create a roster spot, because the league has denied the Mavericks' request (more than once) for an injury exception that would allow them to sign a 16th player.
The Mavs were indeed without four players for a long stretch (Josh Howard, Devin Harris, Adrian Griffin and Keith Van Horn) and that is often sufficient to secure an exception from the league office. But I'm told that the league won't budge because Dallas has a player (Pavel Podkolzin) in the D-League.
So...
If the Mavs want to replace Van Horn now that Dirk Nowitzki's backup has been lost for the season with a broken hand, these are the options: They can recall Podkolzin (who isn't NBA-ready) and put him on the active roster or they can waive the 7-5 center or rookie Rawle Marshall (neither of whom Dallas is prepared to release) to create a roster spot for Kemp or another vet.
It appears that the Mavs, high on Marshall and having expended the 21st overall pick in the 2004 draft on Podkolzin, will give high-energy rookie Josh Powell first crack at Van Horn's minutes after Powell's 12-point, five-rebound showing in Tuesday's rout of Sacramento.
