Since the news was broken that the Dallas Mavericks may waive Michael Finley to relieve some financial pressure the team has been flooded with inquries, the Dallas Morning News is reporting.  While Finley still may have played his last game as a Maverick, the mechanism for his departure may have changed.

Eddie Sefko is reporting that the Mavs are now looking at other options.  President of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said they have been approached with trade possibilities that could accomplish the same thing: provide financial relief for the team, as well as the bonus of acquiring an asset in return.

"Our first choice would be to keep Fin in a Mavericks uniform until he retires," Nelson said. "But as we run through the creative options, there seems to be less and less prospect of that happening. We have heard from a lot of people."

Possibilities, Sefko writes, could include the contract of retired Pacer Reggie Miller or a combination of Scot Pollard and Austin Croshere from the Pacers, Eddie Jones from the Miami Heat, or Finley could head back home to Chicago for the expiring contracts of Antonio Davis and Eric Piakowski.
