No way. My initial thought is take the pick off the table, and add some salary that's not that useful (Hardy, Powell, or both), and then maybe kinda sorta he needs to be explored ...
... but I'm not convinced White is available, and you don't pursue guys like that,
... and I'm not convinced he's really what the Mavs need anyhow (his usefulness centers on his ability to shoot often, and is a so-so creator of offense for others, and I'm not sure that profile fits where the Mavs want to go),
... and if he's available, it has to do with future contract demands, which I don't think he'd be a priority salary in DAL and therefore he's great risk to lose after only one year, unless he signs an extension as part of the trade itself.
