The Mavericks appear prepared to part ways with two veterans who play 
Leon Smith's position: free agent forwards Samaki Walker and A.C. Green. 
Mavericks coach-general manager Don Nelson acknowledged Monday that he 
has begun talks with Boston in an attempt to arrange a sign-and-trade 
deal for Walker, Dallas' 1996 first-round pick out of Louisville.

Walker - who fell out of favor with Nelson last season after spurning a 
four-year, $20 million contract extension - traveled to Boston recently 
to work out for the Celtics. Agent Norm Nixon said "it's pretty certain 
Samaki's not going to be back" with the Mavericks, adding that Walker 
has also generated serious interest from Miami.

Green is expected to join a contender when free agents can start signing 
contracts Sunday. The Mavericks remain desperate to re-sign free agents 
Gary Trent and Cedric Ceballos.
