Official 2012-13 Offseason thread - trades, rumours, etc

Really? Cheap would be good, I just dunno if they need another 2-guard. They do need depth on the wing, point and down low, but not sure on another shooting guard.

Could possibly be a good pickup, and would most likely see minutes like Yi Jianlian did last season. But he wouldnt be down for that?
 
More in the Mavs camp...

Tim MacMahon‏@espn_macmahon
Coming on @ESPNDallas -- Source says Mavs will use amnesty clause on Brendan Haywood.

John Hollinger‏@johnhollinger
Follow-up on @espn_macmahon report, gotta think Blazers may use amnesty auction to bid on Haywood. Could have two years at low $.

Jeff Caplan‏@ESPN_Caplan
With Chris Kaman in and Brendan Haywood out, the amnesty move allows the Mavs to make a strong bid on Elton Brand.

Jeff Caplan‏@ESPN_Caplan
Haywood has 4 years left on his deal, but the last year at $10+M is fully non-guaranteed, really 3 years, $27.2 M Haywood still gets.

Jeff Caplan‏@ESPN_Caplan
Haywood will enter the amnesty bidding where teams w cap space bid, highest bidder wins. If no bids, he becomes a free agent.
 
Jeff Caplan‏@ESPN_Caplan
Team that bids highest on amnesty player, pays that much of the player's salary. Original team pays the rest.

Looks like Mavs might have a PG?

Tim MacMahon‏@espn_macmahon
More Mavs news: Ian Mahinmi in sign-and-trade to Indiana for Darren Collison and Dahntay Jones. @DraftExpress had 1st. Talking now on 103.3

More on Elton Brand for the Mavs...

John Hollinger‏@johnhollinger
Or not ... Mavs only 4.3M for Brand auction now, but just got the exact rentals (PG, wing defender) they needed.

I'm guessing Jones and Collison push us out of contention for Brand... Unless $4.3m is enough. lol.
 
Nah they had Kaman before that deal went down, the only thing now, is the money on Collison/Jones' contracts (expiring) limits their amount they can bid for Amnestied PF/C, Elton Brand.

Would be good to secure him too. No more Ramon Session talks now, YAAAAY!!!!!
