It appears that a trade was completed yesterday between the Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavs traded Center Nathan Jawai to the T-wolves in exchange for a future 2011 second round protected pick. The pick is top-55 protected which limits the chances of the Mavs front office of actually getting that pick any time. However, It is not inconceivable to see the Mavs move this pick in the future as part of a package that involves another player or two in an attempt to further mold the roster to fit the 15 man nba mandated max.
Now the team has 16 spots on the roster and it seems that the two players in immediate jeopardy are Jake Voskuhl and Shawne Williams. Williams has been banished from the team indefinetily and there has been talks of trying to work a buy out with his agent. That seems far fetched considering that he has roughly $2.4 million owed to him for just sitting at home. Voskuhl has a non-guaranteed contract and will likely provide nothing to the team long term anyway.
