Mavs frontrunner for Iverson?

[ATX Spur]

If I'm Cuban I tell em best of luck then.....love to hear those better deals. Expiring contracts are what a team that is rebuilding needs.

Chris Webber's 22M comes off the books after next season. They'll probably want young players and draft picks more.

I imagine that Cuban isn't being so stingy in his talks with Billy King.

[ChumpDumper]

I think Portland could be able to throw something together if Allen feels like making his team relevant again.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

AI on the Jailblazers, how ironic

[AFBlue]

Cuban said preliminarily that he wouldn't give up Harris, who is honestly the only developmental player the Sixers would want. That means he'd have to give up a guy like Terry.

Terry + Diop + (other sub-5mil player) would do it...

Honestly though, I'd put the odds of it happening at far less than a couple other teams...

AI for Randolph and a #1, but I doubt it'll happen.

Nah, Magloire and some young dudes and picks for AI and a couple of minimum big guys.

Problem is Magliore only makes about $8 mil. That's only about half of what is needed to make the deal work. It'd have to be Magliore plus about 4 rookie contracts to make that deal work...not gonna happen.

EDIT: Unless they're under the salary cap?

Don't know if this will work out chemistry-wise, but I was just ing around at ESPN Trade Machine and I came upon this. And I do know the odds of this are 1,000,000/1.

[alamo50]

AI will go to Denver and nowhere else.

[informant troll]

My sources indicate that this trade is very unlikely.

[ShoogarBear]

Chris Webber is a true untradeable I think. Why would the Nets want him, especially if they had to give up VC?

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

AI will go to Denver and nowhere else.

Bearup has said JR wont be in any trade for AI. If the Nuggets get AI it won't include JR.

[ChumpDumper]

Problem is Magliore only makes about $8 mil. That's only about half of what is needed to make the deal work. It'd have to be Magliore plus about 4 rookie contracts to make that deal work.

Magloire and a couple of young guys who make $2.5 to $3 million would do it.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

Of course the smart Dallas fans (and I rarely say that) know that having Iverson would their team up, mainly because they'd have to trade some important pieces. Iverson wouldn't fit in there.

exactly. we already have a young team chemistry.
Cuban's not that dumb. they would want a lot of our younger players. better not happen

[Shank]

The talk among some Mavs employees tonight was that Devin is being considered in a trade. They may have just been referencing this column, but that was the word.

Best sig ever

harris is much less than martin, no matter what. i'm a big harris fan, but the mav's need to be careful where they move him. they don't want devin to come back around and bite them on their ass. i want to see harris succeed.

[lefty]

I could see Iverson with Indianapolis ; nothing is working for the Pacers

Memphis is interesting too ; trade Eddie Jones+Damon for Iverson

indy for who? who goes? o'neal is near untouchable, who know's what could happen.

i agree, memphis could be very interesting in playing out. love to get eddie or damon in a kings uni.

[NBA Junkie]

I'd like to think that Cuban learned his lesson after the Jamison/Walker trades killed the chemistry of the Mavs in '04.

That said, I'd love to see Iverson on the Mavs. He would ruin everything they had going there.

[kinbenzoo]

Dallas has chemistry??????

yessssssssssss

[Bob Lanier]

indy for who? who goes? o'neal is near untouchable, who know's what could happen.

Why is O'Neal untouchable? He's injury-prone, obviously no more a "franchise player" than Iverson is, and has never justified his enormous salary.

Quite frankly he's one of the most overrated players in the NBA today.

Tinsley+O'Neal for Iverson+Dalembert would seem an even trade that could benefit both teams.

Tinsley-----------Iverson
Iguodala---------Jackson
Korver-----------Granger
Webber----------Harrington
O'Neal-----------Dalembert

[RonMexico]

Why would the Sixers want two injury-prone overrated PFs on their team (O'Neal and Webber)? I guess they'd be giving up the hasn't-lived-up-to-his-potential-yet Dalembert.

[Bob Lanier]

Equivocating between O'Neal's frequent minor bumps and overuse injuries and Webber's permanent complete lack of athleticism isn't really fair.

They would want O'Neal because he's the best deal they could get - and if they could unload If-I-only-had-a-brain Dalembert's contract at the same time, they would jump at the chance.

[RonMexico]

I still don't know if Larry Bird would even want that deal - if they could get rid of Stephen Jackson, then I would even make that trade.
