Mavs Moneyball Trenton Hassell

"Pssst: Don't be surprised if the Timberwolves trade guard Trenton Hassell to the Dallas Mavericks within days."

I'd love to have Hassell, but what would the Wolves want from us?  Ager?  JJ Barea?

For those who don't know, Hassell is regarded by many to be a perimeter defender almost as good as Bowen.  That's definitely a notch above what Buck gave us last year.  (In fact, though I liked that Buck signing at the time, I think it's turned out to be a huge mistake.)  Hassell can't shoot the three like Bowen or even Buck, but he's a better finisher and a decent passer.  He can also make that 15-20 foot shot kinda like Adrian Griffin did so reliably for us in 2006.

What does everyone else think about Hassell?  Do you want him on the Mavs?  If so, for what price?
