Mavs and Pacers swap Daniels and Croshere

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Late Wednesday evening, the Dallas Mavericks and Indiana Pacers agreed to trade Marquis Daniels and Austin Croshere. Daniels, after a promising rookie campaign after going undrafted, spent most of last season on the bench behind Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse. Drafting Maurice Ager with pick No. 26 sealed his fate, as they found a taker for Daniels' extravagant contract (he's owed around $26 million over the next four years). He's an athletic guard with plenty of explosion and ball-handling skill, but he lacks consistency and occasionally displays poor judgement on his shot selection. He should give the Pacers another scoring option in the backcourt and provide insurance in case the Pacers find a taker for Stephen Jackson. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]C[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]roshere parlayed a strong playoff performance in the 2001 playoffs into a ridiculous contract that is finally winding down this season. He can shoot the three and pull down the occasional rebound. He should mesh nicely with Dallas' offensive system as Dirk Nowitzki's primary back-up. He'll be asked to perform the duties Keith Van Horn did last season, who will likely be leaving the Mavericks this off-season. While Daniels is the more talented player of the two, the financial aspect of the trade tilts it in favor of the Mavericks.[/FONT]

I think the pacers may have gotten the better end of this deal :yes:

I really like Daniels...
 
Neither player was really given the chance to live up to their deals. I think the Mavs traded him more to get out of the contract than anything else. Croshere can end his career on the bench behind Van Horn. The Pacers get their Wade stopper. Daniels was the only guy who slowed down Wade in the finals.

exactly why the kings are a team to fear in the west next year :wink: :wink: :wink:
 
trade works well for both teams. i'm really happy to see two good players who were rotting on benches get chances in systems that fit them.
 
Daniels has plenty more upside but I see this as more of a financial trade and it balances it out well!
