Don't hold your breath waiting for Mavs to get something for Greg Buckner

The window to package Greg Buckner's buyout with other players in a trade begins tomorrow. But the rumor mill isn't cranking. You can find speculation on what the Mavs might be able to cook up for the Buckner buyout. But as far as rumors with substance ... nothing. Donnie Nelson is sure to burn up a bunch of cell phone minutes to see if something might fall in place. However, it's much more likely that the Mark Cuban will write the Buckner buyout check than it is that a deal will go down. The Mavs won't make a deal just for the sake of doing so. If they can't get a solid rotation player, Cuban would rather just take the savings himself.
