PrintStill no official timetable for Terry's return, but "several weeks" is the phrase being used. Sefko has an article with quotes from Donnie Nelson on how Dallas will try to replace Terry's scoring.
"You can't replace Jet," Nelson said Sunday. "He's having the best season of his career. I don't know if there's any Band-Aid you can put on that. It's like trying to replace any of our other key guys.
"The bad news is obvious. But the silver lining is, it's probably our deepest position. And we've got Stack knocking on the door to come back."
Yep, Jerry Stackhouse is eying a return this Thursday against Boston. According to Hubie Brown this is exactly what we've been missing! And anyone else think Stack being healthy again at the same time minutes opened up for him is more than coincidence?
Jason Kidd says he won't be trying to score more with Terry out.
"It'll be different because he was one of my security blankets. him and Dirk," Kidd said, adding although he has confidence in Wright, Barea and Howard, everyone else also "has to pick up a little bit more" in Terry's absence.
"We've got to take better care of the ball, because Jet bails us out a lot of times with the triple."
Kidd said he would only become more of a scorer if the situation dictates it. He will remain more of a distributor unless the defenses back off of him so far that the jump shot is wide-open.

Art Garcia has an article for NBA.com discussing the chances the Mavs might look to other teams for Terry replacement.
The Mavericks are looking at players that might be available. Some possibilities include John Salmons, Larry Hughes, Ben Gordon, Anthony Parker and Jason Kapono. Though Dallas general manager Donnie Nelson is surveying the landscape, he would prefer not have to deal for help.
"Given the fact that he'll be back in a matter of weeks, Jet's injury doesn't significantly alter our tact on the player-acquisition front. The solution must come from within our locker room."

John Hollinger’s pants probably need to be changed now.

That's awesome.
Hopefully that means we’re after Foye.
And what about this trade:
Howard and Stackhouse for
Kirilenko and Miles
We get the on-the-ball and denial specialist we need (who isn’t a black hole offensively) and a super-talented young 2 from the area. We give up a better offensive player and cap relief. I’d do it.

Definitely not, right now
I actually do like that comp to his game right now, though.

I like Kirilenko
But not for 15 mil/yr

True
But if you did that deal, you’d have 2-5 nicely taken care of, and some room to tinker with 1 (re-sign Kidd, draft, another trade, etc.).
Whether I'd do it or not
Depends on how good C.J. Miles can be.

Ben Gordon, now theres a player.
Howard for Gordon and Thomas works on the trade machine. It would be pretty nice to have Kidd, Terry, and Gordon on the floor together.
I have witnessed time and time again.
that would be pretty awful
defensively.

I'm just giving ideas,
as many of you think we aren’t going any where, because we’re average on offense and defense. At least this way we would score a lot of points.
I have witnessed time and time again.
Problem is
Gordon is basically a Jason Terry clone. We shouldn’t give Josh up for that even with Jet out. I guess Gordon is a clutch scorer though.
JEFF TEAGUE TIME.
Not any more than Terry.
I’ll take Terry 10 times out of 10 over Gordon.

didnt anyone learn anything from last year ??
trade, trade, trade, thats all i hear……………dont anyone remember bringing in Kidd last year in the MIDDLE of the year, and the way it worked out ?
and i’m a fan of the trade, BUT……..you just cant expect anyone to come in and upset the routine and expect them to fit snuggly into the puzzle until they learn the team and start to fit in as a part of the TEAM ! remember it is a team sport, ya know ?
by the time that all happens the year is OVER !
I guess you think that we will better by sticking with this team,
even though it hasn’t shown that much of what it takes to be a champion.
I have witnessed time and time again.
not necessarily............
but i do know that when you add someone new……….you cant just figger he’ll fit right in. kinda like 1 step forward, 2 or 3 back.
i guess i’m saying, i wouldn’t pass up a good deal if it came along, but i also know its unlikely you can start him right a way and have super star results, till he makes himself fit in
really hurt the lakers

Well there are examples both ways
Mavericks and Suns come to mind. Atlanta didn’t play well with Bibby until the playoffs, and are much better this year with him, than last.

Carlisle is not ready to trust Stack just yet
Stackhouse practiced today and “looked pretty good to me,” Dirk Nowitzki said. He got the best of Gerald Green in one-on-one action after the media was allowed into the gym. But Carlisle isn’t ready to declare that Stack could play even a few minutes Thursday night against Boston in the final game before the All-Star break.
I can’t believe Stack beat Green and he hasn’t played in forever. What does that say about Stack…or Green for that matter.
