Mavs Looking to Move Terry for Size
Published 6/22/2007 by Bethlehem Shoals at FanHouse
... . Now, some basketball-related news for Jet fans. Draft Express has a rumor about the Mavs' future plans for Terry: Dallas is inquiring about the possibility of making a move into the top 10, likely in hopes of landing Joakim Noah. Their main trade bait is Jason Terry. Boston and Minnesota are two teams in particular who could have some use for a very efficient 17 ppg scorer. While Terry has hit some big shots and can be at times unguardable, he'll never be a true point guard and can go very, very cold from the field. In Devin Harris, the Mavs already have someone younger and cheaper who fits a similar mold. So it's logical that they'd pursue some of the holes in their line-up--namely athletic size, rebounding, and inside presence--by trying to move up into the lottey and grab ...

Jason Terry Trade Rumor
Published 6/22/2007 at MavsCentral.com
DraftExpress.com has the latest Dallas Mavericks rumor and it involves Jason Terry and the upcoming draft. Dallas is inquiring about the possibility of making a move into the top 10, likely in hopes of landing Joakim Noah. Their main trade bait is Jason Terry. Boston and Minnesota are two teams in particular who could have some use for a very efficient 17 ppg scorer. While I think Joakim Noah will make a very good role type player on some team, I would not be a fan of this trade. Losing JET would take a decent chunk of points from the lineup and I don’t see Joakim Noah making up for it with points or by doing other things (Devin Harris would probably need to increase his scoring production by a lot as well). In other news, ...

... 24. Phoenix: Nick Fazekas, PF, Nevada. Though we're not entirely sold on him yet, if the reports about his ability to consistently shoot 75% from three in workouts across the country have any bearing on what the future holds for him, the Suns could be a great fit. We see him filling the vacancy Tim Thomas left this year, giving them five three-point threats on the floor at once. The corners would never be safe with a Nash/Barbosa/Bell/Marion/Fazekas lineup on the floor. ...
