Mike Fisher of DallasBasketball.com reports: Dallas is down to its 15 bodies, but as the Mavs prepare for Tuesday?s opener at home against Detroit, five of them are banged up and one is in China.

As we guessed, Martin was retained over Khalid El-Amin from the start and the 6-10, 270-pound Ruben Wolkowyski was seen as too valuable as a six-fouls-to-give big man to let go in favor of a Muggsy Bogues trade that doesn?t seem forthcoming. (Bogues, by the way, is guaranteed to get the $3.2 million remaining on the two years of his contract, so Dallas certainly didn?t take the cheap way out.)
