If the below tweet from Mavstats is true, they HAVE to in my opinion:
#Butler to spend night in Milwaukee, back to Big D for MRI tomorrow. Carlisle called it potentially serious injury to knee.Butler is a former Laker - I wish him a speedy recovery. If he is out for an extended time, couple that with Dirk possibly missing some significant time too, the Mavs could be in serious trouble...unless they make a trade.
Not a trolling thread.
Ya, the Mavs have no shot if Butler's injury is serious. I think it's time to say goodbye to Beaubois. Cuban will just sign another FA point guard down the line anyway so it won't matter.
I was always hesitant to trade Beaubois but now it's desperation time so they have to make a move to somehow salvage the season.
BSPN:
MILWAUKEE -- Dallas forward Caron Butler left the Mavericks' 99-87 loss against Milwaukee in the first quarter Saturday night after injuring his right knee.
After Dallas' Jason Kidd hit a shot, Butler went down to the floor grasping his knee. He rolled over onto his stomach as play continued before Dallas was able to call a timeout.
The training staffs from both teams assisted Butler, who slapped the floor in frustration. Two minutes later, Butler -- from nearby Racine -- was helped to his feet and limped to the locker room under his own power.
He missed the rest of the game.
Manu for Beaubois - straight up.
DMN:
Milwaukee – the injury situation is getting bleak, but the scene on the Bradley Center court Saturday night was far, far worse. When Caron Butler went down – clutching his right knee before he even landed – the situation did not look good. And then it got more depressing, even moreso than the 99-87 loss the Mavericks would absorb from the Milwaukee Bucks, their third consecutive setback. "To watch a teammate go down on the floor and pound the floor like he was, it's just terrible," said Dirk Nowitzki, himself fighting a sprained knee. "we're all just pulling for him now."
That may not be enough. Coach Rick Carlisle termed Butler's injury "potentially serious." Butler stayed in Milwaukee with family – he grew up in nearby Racine, Wis. - and will return to Dallas today to be examined by team physician Dr. T.O. Souryal. Clearly, it does not look like a short-term injury, although nobody was divulging any diagnosis Saturday. If there is ligament damage, it could threaten butler's season. X-rays were taken at the arena, but the results were not released. "We're afraid that it's potentially serious, but we won't know anything until Dr. Souryal gets a look at it," Carlisle said. "We'll find out tomorrow where things are at." The somber at ude in the locker room suggested that the news is bad. Carlisle said Butler's at ude showed through, however, even during the injury.
Any one have any idea what te injury was? I just saw him grab it in mid air..it wasn't even hit or anything. That I could see anyway. Must have hurt like a though,dude didn't even wait to hit the ground before grasping it in pain.
is butler really a major part of mavs offense? marion can play SF right....hoping that injury is not serious, i dont see the need for the mavs to make a move....
If it were a Laker there'd be the requisite snickers & guffaws over it....as well as the chasing of elbows round assholes justifying the aforementioned snickers & guffaws.
What's good for the goose is like sauce for the gander...
snicker/guffaw
only a short-term solution imo. dude will either sign with NJ or NYC and getting him via a trade would definitely cost a lot. denver would rather let him walk free at the end of the season than sell him cheap to a rival team imo. i'd love to see someone his caliber joining the mavs but theres been no realistic target out there tbh. CP3 seems to have regained form and has been doing real good with the NBA hornets recently, brandon roy is probably out for the season...
having added chandler to our squad, the shortest stave has been the lack of depth at PF which has been intricately delineated in the recent 3 games. varejao seems a good potential signing imo and a haywood-varejao swap would do good to both teams imho.
trading for melo would be a gamble for us, imho. i'd only call it a win if mavs win the championship this season (which would be very unlikely even if they had melo). I know it's a big IF, but if the mavs actually win the championship, then melo will opt to re-sign with the champs more likely than any other option and the mavs will enjoy a couple more great seasons with the melo/dirk combo.
whereas if they fails to win it, melo will walk free and they will start rebuilding right away, then dirk will be traded to a contender for a couple future picks and young talents. the distance between heaven and can be really very small tbh
if the injury is serious, i think we have to. we needed a true second scoring option before butler got injured, and now we propably lose 15 ppg for the rest of the season..
The problem is the Mavs do not have a second scorer on the team as Terry is starting to head down hill. Maybe soemthing with Cleveland for Mo Williams for Haywood, Beaubois, and a first pick. May see Terry go too if you can find someone to take on his salary.
The over-hype above for the unproven Roddy Beaubois coming back from major foot surgery is unreal.
I would not trade Neal, Hill or especially Manu for RB.
Sideshow Bob and No-show Mo for French Allah, Butler's expiring, and filler?
It's a blessing in disguise, they needed to trade him either way..they have the defense, depth and #1 option to win the le, they need a legit #2, Butler's expiring + Roddy or a pick should be enough to get them a better player than Butler..
The old Phoenix Suns way of looking at it.
Do we know each other?..

They should be able to pry GForce form the ailing Bobcats for the right pieces...
Roddy doesn't have much trade value at the moment. Just because Cuban refuses to add people to trades publicly doesn't mean that the player has a lot of value.
I am sure some people are somewhat intrigued by him, because he has certainly shown glimpses of great potential, but coaches and GM's will look at the facts:
1) He was very inconsistent
2) His year could have been a fluke
3) He is injured and it could very well effect him long-term and he is a slow healer
4) His own coach chooses to play JJB over him
I know Mav fan loves him. I know Cuban hypes him up. But if you are being real about the situation, Roddy doesn't have much value at the moment. People will look at it like the JJ Hickson syndrome. JJ showed some nice flashes sporadically and the Cavs refused to put him in trades (even for Amare). Now he is a very average player with his increased minutes.
All of those things go against Roddy in a trade. I'm not saying the Mavs can't make a big trade, but I don't think a Roddy will be the deal breaker one way or another.
Don't forget they have Mahinmi... another huge trade piece, tbh
Kidding aside, can they dump Haywood in some sort of trade? Who would take him?
