If signed, if personally would like to see Frank replace Burke, but I think Mark and Brian are right in that it'll probably be Brown that goes. It's fun to think of him as an untapped amazing center that just needs the Mavs' guidance to blossom, but the reality is that he was a contract that was required to make a trade legal, not someone the Mavs really pursued.
I don't think he factors into the Mavs' current plans at all except as a tool to facilitate someone else joining the team if/when the opportunity comes up.
Thanks, Jmac!
Yes, the buzz we've heard since Moses was signed has been that the Mavs weren't counting on him. Things could change, of course.
I could easily see Burke being used as a trade piece, but I will be a little surprised if they waive him, as he still has two seasons left. Not sure what his independent trade value is, but have to think that he could be unloaded, if necessary. Terry might be ahead of Burke in the chopping block line, though. TT didn't have a great summer league, and I don't know how committed the new regime, who didn't sign him, are to him.
And I guess it's still possible FN doesn't make the team. Somebody on the roster won't.
