During Wednesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Mavs' owner Mark Cuban said that the team is not pursuing a trade for the Los Angeles Lakers star.
"We haven't talked to them," Cuban told ESPN's Lisa Salters during a sideline interview. "It's not gonna happen. We've got a great squad. We like it."
Cuban was asked if the team has any interest at all in Bryant.
"We're always looking for bargains, but I don't think they're going to give us any bargains," he said.
According to ESPN's Ric Bucher the Lakers are now actively looking to move the nine-time All-Star.

To make room for Juwan Howard, the Mavericks waived center DJ Mbenga.
Mbenga averaged 1.3 points and 0.9 rebounds in 79 games the past three seasons for the Mavericks. The 7-footer played only 21 games last season before tearing ligaments in his right knee Feb. 7. He played in only one preseason game, and had five rebounds and two blocked shots in 12 minutes.
"DJ needs an opportunity to play and develop," Nelson said in a story on the team's Web site. "We're hopeful that with playing time, whether it's in the NBA or Europe, he'll be able to join our team in the future."
