I'm far from a Mavs fan, but that Caron situation just sucks. Dallas needs to just trade him in a package for Melo.

I wish, but it ain't gonna happen... Stephen Jackson would do nicely, I think... Wonder if Charlotte would trade Crash..Originally Posted by PO2345

[/h3][h3]Bass says he might need knee surgery[/h3]
9:10AM ET
[h5]Brandon Bass | Magic [/h5]
The Magic say they're not in a rush to add a center, but that may not be the case in regards to bringing in a power forward. Brandon Bass is dealing with a sore left knee and says he may need surgery to fix the problem.
"I might need to get it scoped, be out a few weeks," Bass told the Orlando Sentinel on Sunday. "I don't know. We'll see."
Bass' knee has been bothering since Thursday's game against the Knicks when he heard a "pop." He had an MRI and the results should come back on Monday.
Ryan Anderson will start at power forward if Bass can't play against Golden State on Monday.

8:55AM ET
[h5]Sacramento Kings [/h5]
ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports teams are calling the Sacramento Kings regarding the availability of Omri Casspi. According to Stein, the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks have interest in Casspi.
The Bulls in particular like Casspi's ability to shoot from long distance. Casspi is shooting 40 percent from beyond the 3-point line this season.
The Kings like Casspi and will only consider trading him if they can also get rid of a long-term contract like Francisco Garcia's.
Carl Landry is in the final season of his contract -- making $3 million -- and is unlikely to return next season. According to Stein, a source said that is the reason the power forward will probably be traded by the February deadline.
There has been some rumors that Houston would like to re-acquire Landry.

[h5]Dallas Mavericks [/h5]
Caron Butler is out for at least two months with a patellar tendon injury and he could be gone for the remainder of the season if it a complete tear. ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports the Mavericks, at this time, are not looking to make a move for a small forward.
The Mavericks want to find out the results of the MRI before they start looking long-term.
The team would probably receive a disabled player exception for $5.28 million, if Butler is ruled to be out for the duration of this season.
Dallas is hoping Dirk Nowitzki can return this week from his sprained knee and that Rodrigue Beaubois' debut this season will come in about three weeks. Beaubois is recovering from broken left foot.
Butler is in the final season of his contract and Stein points out it may be difficult to use him in a deal, unless a team is willing to take him on for just financial reasons.
-- Nick Borges
[h5]Marc Stein[/h5]
Butler's value on the trade market reduced?
"Yet even if Dallas does manage to survive Butler's absence through the likes of Marion, Terry, Stevenson and eventually Beaubois -- or a potential newcomer acquired through a disabled player exception -- Butler's attractiveness as a trade chip will be reduced to strictly financial terms if he can't play again this season. With an expiring contract, Butler could provide salary relief to cost-conscious teams in any deal before the Feb. 24 deadline but nothing more unless his injury proves far less serious than feared."

I think they can lose watching them now.Originally Posted by airmaxpenny1
No matter what happens there I still can't see any team in the West beating them unless someone made a huge trade.
