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.
