    Both KG & Kobe Heading to Dallas?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Minnesota superstar Kevin Garnett reportedly turned down a deal that could have sent him to Boston. Three-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant once again has demanded to be traded. Could those players be Mavericks?

    Avery went all media savvy on me when I asked if the Mavericks had an interest in trading for either superstar.

    "It piques the interest of 29 other teams," he said. "Those guys are tremendous players."

    My mind translates that to: Heck, yeah, we're on the phone talking to the Lakers and Timberwolves. We just can't let Phoenix waltz in and trade for those guys without seeing if we can make a move."

    Trade winds are always strong before the draft, but Johnson cautioned me with this: "We won 127 games the last two years. We like our roster... we'll try to tweak it.

    "We're not trying to move eight players to make a deal."

    If the Mavs make a move for Garnett or Bryant, you better believe they will try to make Jet apart of the trade.

    Fans might dream of seeing KG or KB in a Mavericks jersey, but the player who might be the best fit for the club without having to give up a Devin Harris or Josh Howard would be Andrei Kirilenko of Utah.</div>
