Wesley Matthews Jr. and Dennis Smith Jr. said they were napping before the Mavericks' game against the Pistons on Thursday and woke up to the news that they had been dealt to the Knicks. The lesson might be, don't ever close your eyes as the trade deadline approaches.
Matthews and DeAndre Jordan were asked about the speculation that they could be very short-term pieces for the Knicks. Both are on expiring contracts, and if they aren't traded, they could be bought out to allow them to play for a contender.
"I'm happy here," Jordan said.
