I know we helped the Rockets out of a hole, but Im hoping that atleast the move for Mo taylor finally opened everyone's eyes. It cost the NY Knicks 35 MILLION dollars this year and next in salary and taxes to acquire Taylor. If we sent an ening contract to Dallas for a guy who is on the way down, it would cost the franchise 40mm PER year EXTRA. I dont think so.

Man I second that. I loved Finley in his day but that day has passed. All good things come to an end.

Also I gotta say i can't imagine IT is even considering ths.

why not trade Allan to Dallas? Its one year shorter deal- which, if he could be released, saves them dough and prevents Finley from going to Phoenix and becoming Cubans worse nightmare.

I'd just as happily send them Penny or TT, but they'd have to ship something back, youth, picks, etc.

You cant trade players and use the amnesty clause on them. I looked at it, I dont see any scenario where we would trade for Mike Finley.

Thanks- that's what I didn't know.

I was thinking for an extra year, it might not be a bad move - but then I looked at his contract - 3 more years at $56 Million!!! OMG. Wow. Let's hope there isn't any shred of truth to this.

if we traded for Finely it would be in a deal that benefits US, not Dallas. Mo T and Malik for Finley and Howard. Otherwise buzz off

I actually just read that article and its retarded. This guy doesnt even know his own team. He says with Finely going one way or another that the 2/3 swings positions are the greatest need.
Last I checked they had Stackhouse, Howard and Daniels all signed next year. Add to it that Terry can play some 2 and KVH some 3. That team doesnt have any pressing needs, unless they can upgrade center or find a better playmaker than Terry to start at PG.

This guy is like Berman from Texas...

Why is this even a thread, this isn't even a remote possibility.

If one can think it, one can start a thread!

A dump is a dump. Mavs want trade to see what can be, and likely for public relations purpose.

He goes to suns, and suns beat up on mavs, afte losing Nash, Cube got a problem.

The honeymoon is over in dallas anyway. Cube is cool, but lets face it, wonderboy with his phat clubhouses and pimped out goodies for his players has yet to provide a team consistant with his effort, money, and hard work put in. It happens.

actually, according to the dallas morning news, the Knicks have a legit interst in finley.

These rumors were already discredited on Fox Sporting News. Cuban is trying to find an eastern conference team to trade Finley desperately to, he is so scared that Phoenix will just grab him up and it will come back to haunt him. The problem is that everyone in the league knows this, he can't find a single taker for Finley. So he has been hitting the airwaves down in Dallas coming up with all these possible trade scenarios in the eastern conference. I also heard that he indicated that Miami is interested which they flattly denied too.
