[外電] Source says Mavericks might have shot

If the Dallas Mavericks aren't able to sign Deron Williams, maybe they can
convince the Orlando Magic to send center Dwight Howard their way.

According to an NBA source, Howard would be the perfect consolation prize for
the Mavs if they can't get Williams to return home and play for Dallas.

Howard met with the Magic over the weekend and expressed his desire to be
traded to the Brooklyn Nets. But the Magic has no plans of meeting Howard's
desire to play for the Nets.

Also on Monday, the Nets executed a trade with Atlanta that sent the expiring
contracts of Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar, Jordan Williams and Johan Petro,
a first-round pick, and DeShawn Stevenson to the Hawks.

Now, after meeting with Deron Williams on Monday, the Mavs and Nets are
awaiting word from the free-agent point guard on which team he'll join. But
whether Williams -- who is expected to make up his mind by Wednesday --
decides to return to his Dallas roots or re-sign with the Nets, the Mavericks
might be in a win-win situation.

Why?

Because of Howard.

Last season when Howard asked the Magic to trade him, he wanted to be
shipped, in order, to the Nets, Mavs or Los Angeles Lakers.

Because Brooklyn has agreed to a four-year, $40 million contract with Gerald
Wallace -- along with being responsible for the remaining $90 million and
four seasons on Johnson's contract -- the Nets will be deep into the luxury
tax category if they sign Williams, who played at The Colony, and won't have
the funds left to pay a player of Howard's caliber.

"That would put us back in the hunt," a Mavs source said, referring to the
possible acquisition of Howard. "I don't know what we have to do to get him
unless [the Magic] just saythey're going to start over."

The source noted that the Mavs could send the Magic some combination of the
expiring contracts of Rodrigue Beaubois, Vince Carter, Dominique Jones and
Brandan Wright, and rookies Jared Cunningham, Bernard James and Jae Crowder,
plus draft picks and involve Ian Mahinmi in a sign-and-trade for Howard.

"If we could do that, then we've made a big splash," the source said.
"Because we've got to do something big."

When the Mavs started clearing cap space last off-season and allowing quality
players such as Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea, DeShawn Stevenson and Caron
Butler to leave, the plan was to try and sign Howard and Williams when they
became free agents this summer.

Howard, though, tossed a curveball into the mix in the spring when he opted
in for another year on his contract with the Magic.

Now he wants the Magic to trade him.

Dallas seems like a likely destination, especially if the Magic starts
dumping salaries to clear cap space so they can become a major player in next
summer's free-agent class led by Chris Paul, Andrew Bynum, Josh Smith, Al
Jefferson, Paul Millsap and David West.

"They're probably going to take the Atlanta route, too, and just bite the
bullet for a year, have just an average team and then have a bunch of money
the following year to throw at some people," the source said.
