The Dallas Mavericks plan to wait it on whether to use the "amnesty" clause on swingman Michael Finley.

However, the Mavericks would prefer to trade Finley to an Eastern Conference team and might have one offer already.

The Mavs have at least one deal on the table for Finley, possibly with Orlando, that satisfies Mark Cuban's requirement of receiving expiring contracts in return. The Mavs will continue to pursue a trade and could easily wait until the eve of training camp before deciding Finley's fate.

Players rumored to be involved in the possible deal include Doug Christie, Tony Battie, Stacey Augmon and Mario Kasun.

The Mavericks though are expected to wait it out to see if they can get a better offer.
