The Mavericks are not interested in a sign-and-trade involving center Brendan Haywood.

A league source says Dallas remains in contract negotiations to keep Haywood, an unrestricted free agent.

However, if Haywood and the Mavericks come to terms on a long-term deal it won't likely happen until the summer's top free agents sign with teams.

A report in the Miami Herald on Tuesday said the Heat have approached the Mavericks about a possible sign-and-trade involving Haywood for Jermaine O'Neal and maybe even Michael Beasley.
