The Dallas Mavericks are not necessarily seeking a trade, but if P.J. Brown was available for the right price the team would be interested, the Dallas Morning News is reporting.
The Mavericks don't have a lot of glaring weaknesses, but backup play behind Dirk Nowitzki has been an issue. Aside from another shooter – which every team in the league could use – another big man who can defend and score a little is the only item on their wish list.
Avery Johnson has an appreciation for players like Brown.
"I think he's been awfully good his whole career," Johnson said. "He's always been a stabilizer for his team with rebounding and in the paint. And he's always been really professional."
Many dominoes would have to fall for Brown to become available. But he's clearly the sort of player who is on the Mavs' radar.

Stackhouse -- slowly working his way back after spraining his left ankle last month -- scored 16 of his 23 points in the final quarter as the Mavericks held on to beat Miami 99-93 on Sunday in the first matchup between the teams since last season's NBA finals.
