Mavericks may take Tyson Chandler off the Bobcats hands

Sources say that the Mavericks have identified Minnesota's Al Jefferson and Charlotte's Tyson Chandler as potential trade options, but those are secondary targets given Nowitzki's need for someone on the wings who can consistently occupy defenses, create his own offense and open things up for him.

Source: ESPN.com

Note: If this goes through the only players contracts on the Mavericks roster that are close to Chandlers are Eric Dampier, Jason Terry, and Caron Butler. Honestly I think Jason Terry would be the most viable option. Terry used to play point guard and still can play point guard. I could get used to this line up.

PG-Jason Terry

SG- Stephen Jackson

SF- Gerald Wallace

PF- Tyrus Thomas

C- Nazr Mohammed

That looks like a damn good starting five.

Honestly the only guy I am interested in Terry.

If we could pick up Terry and Amundson that would be solid. Chandler for Terry then sign Amundson. We would still have three spots left and I think those spots should belong to three summer league players in Sherron Collins, Darius Miles, and Jerel McNeal. I think this roster is stout top to bottom.

Center

1. Nazr Mohammed

2. Louis Amundson

3. DeSagana Diop

4. Alexis Ajinca

Power Forward

1. Tyrus Thomas

2. Boris Diaw

Small Forward

1. Gerald Wallace

2. Derrick Brown

3. Darius Miles

Shooting Guard

1. Stephen Jackson

2. Gerald Henderson

3. Jerel McNeal

Point Guard

1. Jason Terry

2. D.J. Augustin

3. Sherron Collins

please take him it would allow us to sign haywood for about 4 or 5 mil. a year less

No it wouldn't. If we're able to sign Thomas for the $6MM qualifying offer, which I highly doubt we'll be able to, then trade Chandler we'd be left with $4MM under the cap. That money would be taken by whoever we get back in a trade. Haywood wouldn't settle for MLE money anyways, he's worth somewhere in the $8MM range.

Dampier's contract could be very valuable. 13 mil expiring if I'm not mistaken. I would take Terry as well but the FO may be looking to shed payroll.

There's no reason to swap Chandler and Dampier. They're both centers, both have contracts that expire after the year, and Dampier's contract would actually push us closer to the luxury tax than we are right now. Jason Terry is the only person on that roster that fits our needs and would work out financially.

if they want tyson, we better unload one of our contracts, hopefully diop. That dude is crippling us like Eddie Curry's contract in New York.

We're not going to be able to unload Diop until the last year of his contract, and only because he'll have some value as an expiring contract then.

dampier's contract is not guaranteed for next season. meaning the cats could trade tyson for dampier and then waive dampier freeing up $13m in cap room.

i don't see the cats being able to attract any big name free agents here so i would rather trade tyson for jason terry.

Its actually not $13MM in cap room, but $13MM in payroll space. We'd have around $5MM under the cap in that situation. And Dampier having a non-guaranteed contract is just another reason why he'll never be swapped for Chandler. Why trade for Chandler when you can just tell Dampier to hit the road and re-sign Haywood?

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      By toldozer · Posted

      Since Tepper bought the team we've made 43 draft selections before this last draft. Of those 43 only 11 I would consider guys that should be on NFL rosters, not even starters but should be on teams period. Of those 11 only 4 are good to above average NFL players.  Brian Burns correcting me if I'm wrong but hurney pick Hubbard picked by Matt rhules wife Derrick Brown this was Hurneys last first round pick right? Jaycee Horn - the one pick fitterer/Morgan made that looks like a pro bowl player. Problem is they picked him right in front of first team all pro at the same position.

      Relax. We are off to a slow start.

      I'm with you on this. I watched the beginning until the weather delay, saw enough of the game to say to myself, "I think I will go outside and cut my grass". Pretty sad that cutting grass is way better than watching the Can'thers play. Actually had a good time and the weather was awesome. Probably gonna stick with that M/O for the foreseeable future.

      Tepper makes the wrong decision in literally every case. It's laughable at this point. It is as hard as getting every single decision right. Give me one example of one thing he's got correct in 8 fuging years. It's no surprise that promoting the assistant GM that worked for the worst GM that I've ever seen was a mistake. This goes all the way back to insisting that Ron run a 3-4 and the defense goes to complete poo and we suck. That decision in my opinion cost us 3 or 4 more seasons of the greatest middle linebacker to ever do it.
