Maggette for Terry...

Found this in David Moore's column on Saturday...I dont know if anyone ever commented on this but I thought I would throw it out there.

Maggette would fit

Corey Maggette in a Mavericks uniform?

Mike Dunleavy thought it would happen. The LA Clippers coach revealed he was close to a deal that would have sent Maggette to the Mavericks for Jason Terry in the off-season before owner Donald Sterling stepped in and said no.

I can see why the Mavericks considered the move. Maggette is taller and more athletic than Terry. He and Josh Howard would be interchangeable at shooting guard and small forward. The Mavericks would create mismatches at those two positions almost every night. It would also allow Jerry Stackhouse to fill a true sixth man role without alteration.

That being said, don't minimize Terry's impact on this team. His speed and ability to come up big in big games are valuable commodities. He gets the edge over Maggette in both areas.

If the Mavericks ever do move Terry, they will likely want a player like Maggette - or Maggette himself - in return.

I would have had no problem sending JET to LA for Maggette...just think about all the mismatches we would have...crazy.

Not interested.
Especially if the mismatches he creates involve coach and player.

I know people are in love with the idea of trading JET, but it was wise to keep him - especially since we're without Harris for a few weeks. He didn't turn out to be the cornerstone PG that he's paid for, but he's an important part of this team.
