Caplan has some good info on the Mavs free agency plans. Dallas has contacted the agents of Devean George, James Posey, P.J. Brown, Mikki Moore, and kind of Gerald Wallace. It sounds like Donnie Nelson knows acquiring Wallace isn't all that likely.
"As far as caliber of player, certainly athleticism has its place with us," said Nelson, the Mavs president of basketball operations.
"From a financial perspective, it's hard to know if it's a fit for us."
The Bobcats have room under the salary cap and have indicated that they want to re-sign Wallace even though they made a draft-day trade for Jason Richardson, who can play the same position.
Wallace also plays the same position as Howard.
"Sign-and-trades are a little harder to do in all likelihood," Nelson said. "A lot of things have to come together to make that happen."

Mike Fisher is really proud of himself for starting the KG to Dallas firestorm. He also still thinks it might happen.
