Mavs said to be Stojakovic's 1st choice; team set to trade Ajinca By EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News Published 20 January 2011 09:01 PM http://tinyurl.com/4vkbj3o CHICAGO — Jason Terry has been on the wrong end of some big-time performances by Peja Stojakovic, so when news circulated that the Mavericks seem likely to acquire the veteran shooter, Terry smiled. “He’ll be very welcomed,” Terry said. “He can shoot. And I mean big shots, real big shots.” The Mavericks know they can’t replace Caron Butler , who has been lost to a knee injury. But they are on the brink of assembling an array of candidates to help fill the void. Two sources said that they are believed to be the first choice of Stojakovic, the veteran shooter who was waived Thursday by the Toronto Raptors and will be a free agent when he clears waivers Monday. Several teams are interested in Stojakovic, and there remains a chance that he could have a change of mind. But the Mavericks put the wheels in motion to make room for him without losing impressive newcomer Sasha Pavlovic. In a separate deal, they were finalizing a trade of big man Alexis Ajinca to the Raptors, along with a future second-round pick and cash. Owner Mark Cuban said that deal, which is expected to be approved by the NBA today, had no bearing on the potential Stojakovic signing. “No, they asked about Ajinca after they had bought out Peja,” Cuban said. “ No connection. They had been asking about him since we got him. We hadn’t wanted to trade him. “But when they asked about him this time, we were in a different position. If they hadn’t asked about Ajinca, we would have released someone else to make room to sign Peja.” The 33-year-old Stojakovic had his best years with Sacramento and New Orleans. Twice in playoff series, he torched the Mavericks, most recently in 2008 when he was with the Hornets. Stojakovic has played just eight games this season. He was fighting knee problems, but in November he had a 17-point game against the Mavericks. The Raptors said when they acquired him with Jerryd Bayless that Stojakovic would either be traded or bought out. The Mavericks could use several mechanisms to sign Stojakovic. They could use a veteran minimum salary slot, the bi-annual exception or their mid-level exception. The two exceptions are worth significantly more than the veteran minimum. Stojakovic was a three-time All-Star when he was with the Kings. He got rave reviews in the Mavericks’ locker room. “If it comes to pass, he’s a great shooter, one of the best in the game,” said Tyson Chandler, who played with Stojakovic in New Orleans. “And he’s not just a great shooter, but a great scorer. He’s a great piece to have.” Ajinca was at United Center for the Mavericks’ game. 小牛簽下被暴龍買斷的Peja Stojakovic。之後，小牛把Alexis Ajinca送到暴龍，還有一個未來的第二輪選秀權，加上一些現金。(回饋暴龍?) Cuban談到：在他們買斷Peja Stojakovic後有來詢問Alexis Ajinca，其實在我們得到Alexis Ajinca後，暴龍都有來詢問他，我們都拒絕他們。這次他們來問我們，現在情況不同了，我們失去Caron Butler。如果他們沒有來問Alexis Ajinca，我們可能是釋出其他人來挪出空間簽下Alexis Ajinca。 33歲的Peja Stojakovic本季只打了8場比賽，有膝傷問題，不過他在去年11月對上小牛時攻下17分。他在國王時期，三次入選全明星賽。 Tyson Chandler和Peja Stojakovic曾經在黃蜂當過隊友。 -- ╭─────────╮ Our Way Our Will Our Win ╭╯Dallas Mavericks╭╯ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ╰─────────╯ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.166.126.114
