PrintSo I started a big post about the Mavs not making a trade but got sleepy and went to bed. I'll probably finish and put it up on Saturday.
Mike Fisher has a really good rundown of all the players Dallas was linked to and what happened with them.
The commitment to Carter of two years and $32 mil is almost digestible - but not while laterally swapping talent-for-talent.
This does raise a question, though: Why couldn't Dallas close that gap?
Donnie's pat answer: "It's not worth not being players in 2010.''
-------------
Sefko writes on the trade and says 2010 might have been the biggest reason Dallas stood still.
The long-term goals are clear. The Mavericks are determined to save every penny they can on the 2009-10 payroll so that they can make a run at one or more of the free agents that summer.
In the meantime, the Mavericks have won seven of nine and are positioned well to make a run at the No. 4 playoff seed in the final two months.
---------------
On February 20th, 2009 I agreed (for the most part) with a Randy Galloway article.

It sounds like Stackhouse will be active against Houston tonight.

What does this mean?
What once was, thanks to Big Nellie and Avery Johnson, is no more for the Mavericks. Rick Carlisle is now attempting to juggle the fallout, and by the halfway point of this first season already had to call a team meeting in hopes of dodging the same locker-room knives that were plunged into Avery’s back. Something about loose lips to the media, a familiar theme around here of late.
Has this meeting been mentioned before?
"Fun" and "Failure" both start out the same way.
Yeah,
I’d ignore that part. If that was reported I must have been in London and missed it.
Galloway almost always drops some sentence like that on something nobody else has ever mentioned, and says it like it’s common knowledge. I think that means he imagined it.

Isn't he an Avery guy as well?
And the article makes it sound as if he hates Cuban or something.
"Fun" and "Failure" both start out the same way.
The last meeting I remember being mentioned
Was the players-only one after the Boston game (the really humiliating one, not the one zk foresaw).
"Fun" and "Failure" both start out the same way.
I'm not Wes, but
Guaranteed contracts: Jason Terry, 10.65M. Matt Carroll 4.3M.
Team Options: Dirk, ~21.5M. JJ Barea, ~1.8M
Player Option: Howard, ~11.8M
Restricted FA: Shawne Williams, ~3.4M qualifying offer.
Erick Dampier won’t reach the incentives in his contract to guarantee his 13M. Were not sure if it will expire following 2009 or if there is a partial guarantee for 2010.
Total w/ Dirk, Howard, and Barea: 50,113,524
Projected salary cap for 2010-11: 54M – 61M
"My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘(Expletive) Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?"

Howard is a Team Option; Dirk a Player Option...
But other than that, it’s pretty spot on… And you gotta figure that 2010 clip will come down substantially…
If they’re trying to be big players in that offseason, Howard probably won’t be back…
And Dirk has already said he’ll opt out and take less money to get some guys here… Marc Stein reiterated that notion yesterday on the radio after the deadline had come and gone…
Oh yeah, oops
I knew that.
