The Dallas Mavericks are aggressively looking to trade, but they don't want to limit their future financial flexibility.
"The thing that Mark has brought is the ability to hit the grand slam home run," Nelson, the Mavs’ GM, said Wednesday from Chicago, where he planned to watch the University of Connecticut play. "You have an owner who is a proven, willing spender if the right deal comes along, and you can count those guys on one hand right now. Almost everybody is looking to cut back.
"I don’t want to take that card away from Mark in 2010, because he’s shown he’s capable of pulling a rabbit out of his hat."

Mark Cuban and former Mavs' coach Don Nelson are headed to mediation Thursday to try and resolve their long-running dispute over the former coach's compensation package.
"We're going to mediation for the appeal," Nelson, who now coaches the Golden State Warriors, said before his team played the Mavericks on Wednesday night. "That's all I know at this point."
An arbitrator ruled last August that Cuban was to pay Nelson $6.3 million, a figure that a federal arbitrator increased to $7.1 million in September.

Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki believes that the team's defensive shortcomings this season are complicated.
"You name it," Nowitzki said of the team's issues on the defensive end. "Pick-and-roll. One-on-one containment. Transition. Rebounding. Rebounding actually is OK. But it's all over the place. We got some work to do."
