Wenn Cuban wirklich will und Minnesota anbeißt ist Garnett verdammt schnell in Dallas. Mach dir da um den Salary-Cap keine Sorgen. Die Mavs besitzen zum Beispiel noch die Rechte an Keith van Horn, der in etwa 15 Mio pro Jahr verdient. Das Problem wird nur sein, ob Dallas gewillt ist, Howard und Harris abzugeben, denn für weniger werden sie ihn nicht kriegen…
ESPN übrigens zu den Chancen von Dallas Garnett zu kriegen:
"Before the draft, Dallas had no shot at getting involved, with no expiring contracts and no good draft picks to peddle. Delete draft picks from the Wolves’ equation and the Mavs’ chances improve considerably, primarily because Mark Cuban might be the only owner in this discussion who won’t be mortified by the luxury-tax implications of importing Garnett … although even that’s not a given.
The Mavs would naturally try to involve Austin Croshere and/or Keith Van Horn (yes, they still have his rights) in the same sort of sign-and-trade arrangement described above with P.J. Brown to generate payroll relief for the Wolves. Yet it remains to be seen how the rest of the offer would look when Dirk Nowitzki isn’t Dallas’ only untouchable these days.
The Mavs, to date, insist that Josh Howard and Devin Harris are as close to untouchable as you can get. But it’s difficult to envision Dallas making a legit run at KG without being asked to part with those two.
I suppose that’s debatable if a top-shelf suitor like Phoenix pulls itself out of the running – which hasn’t happened yet, Suns folks say – because of the cost involved. If the field thins, perhaps Dallas can concoct something that enables them to keep one of the young cornerstones.
But the message I keep getting is that Harris, seen in Big D as a long-term defensive counter to Tony Parker, is off-limits unless the Mavs find themselves in the midst of a Kobe trade."
