    Hmm... don't know what Dallas is thinking here. If this is all to it, this isn't going to help them in the second half of the year. Matt Carroll?

    I believe both guys contracts are up this season so the Mavs could waive both to bring in two players. I actually think the Diop did some nice things for them this year. Not real sure why they would do this deal unless it is part of something bigger.

    When teams consummate a deal don't the involved players almost always sit?

    Yeah, even if they're just being actively discussed in trade talks they can't play. So most likely they won't play, plus they still have to report to the teams and get checked out.

    No, I think Matt just signed like a 5 year deal. Let me look... maybe its just in my NBA2K9 lol

    Yeah look on RealGM.com in the trade checker. Says that Carrol still has 4 years to go. Dallas must be desperate for a shooter.

    I thought Dallas regretted last season trading away Diop... and now they just do it again. They got Dampier and Bass now to man up front... not exactly a scary tandem to bang down low with.

    Love this trade for Portland, now Dallas is even thinner up front. Bass and Dampier are their only bigs, they should have fun with that in the West.
