Mavericks try to quiet trade rumors

With the March 15th deadline rapidly approaching, smoke usually means fire with trade rumors. None bigger than the biggest trade available with Dwight Howard and Deron Williams.

The buzz at the AAC last night centered around the missing Roddy Beaubois and Lamar Odom. Both were officially listed out for family reasons. The Mavericks have been actively shopping Roddy to see what the potential of a quick guard can get on the open market. Anyone bringing Roddy to their team would be looking primarily at potential only, since head coach Rick Carlisle barely gives him minutes. Rumors began to circulate through the halls of the sold out arena.

Questions regarding our information were repeatedly denied by Mavericks personnel, but what else is expected. All teams are playing it close to the vest during All-star weekend which ironically takes place in the house that Dwight built in Orlando.

The more shocking development was a tweet from reality TV star, and wife of Lamar Odom, Khloe Kardashian that she was battling a stomach ailment. Could that be reason enough to miss the last game before a long break against your former team that traded you for essentially nothing? If so, a trade may be a welcomed reality.

Sources: Roddy B and Lamar Odom trade in the works

Sources have told us that a Maverick trade is in the works that includes PG Roddy Beaubois and recently aquired point-forward Lamar Odom. The Mavericks have not confirmed such a trade is taking place.

Speculation regarding a trade has been fueled by rumors of the Mavs shopping Roddy and the absence of Lamar Odom for tonight's game against his former team the Lakers

Would Phil Jackson come back to coach Lakers with Howard, Paul and Bryant?

Phil Jackson has accomplished enough to retire forever from the game of basketball. But, doesn't the idea of having Dwight Howard and Chris Paul change his mind? Phil has had the luxury of coaching the best players in the NBA during their peak. From Michael and Scottie, to Kobe and Shaq, and even Kobe and Gasol have all been champions with Phil. You have to imagine that the idea of another pairing of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant could arguably be the most talented team Phil could coach.

If you are the Lakers organization then you have to be on board with Jackson returning. Gutting the team for Paul and Howard is an all in move. If your going all in then go with a proven coach, not Mike Brown. Phil could only coach the home games and the playoffs if health is an issue. Phil ultimately will have the final decision. If he wants to come back nothing could really stop him. Is Dr. Buss really going to tell Phil Jackson and Laker Nation that Mike Brown is better?
