It's been a quiet day, so far, on the Dennis Smith Jr. potential trade front.

And Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, after working up a sweat shooting baskets at American Airlines Center before Wednesday's Dallas-San Antonio game, has zero desire to stoke the rumor mill.

"What I can tell you is we're not going to respond to every Twitter rumor because that just creates more Twitter rumors," he said.

A Mavericks source said Wednesday that there have been no significant developments. Various teams have called the Mavericks to inquire about Smith and other players and nothing, so far, has piqued Dallas' interest. With the Feb. 7 trade deadline about three weeks away, the Mavericks don't appear to be in a hurry to make any trades, if they make one at all.

Which of course raises the specter that, at some point soon, Smith will be sufficiently recovered from his stiff mid-back and Tuesday's bout with a stomach bug and return to the Mavericks.

Is Cuban concerned about Smith being affected by the swirling rumors? That is a topic Cuban willingly discussed Wednesday.

"One thing I like about Dennis: When Dennis was in the draft, people didn't think he was mature," he said. "They talked about his body language. Dennis is incredibly mature. Dennis is smart. Dennis understands the bigger picture.

"It's not like you say, 'Aw, well, he just turned 21. He's a young kid. He's going to be volatile.' Not at all. I love sitting down talking to Dennis. He's the type of kid you can sit down [with] and have a smart conversation.

"No, that's not something that we're worried about. We worry about his health, like we would any other player. We want him to improve his game like we do any other player."

End of story. At least from Cuban's perspective. Stay tuned on the trade front.
