It's no secret that the Mavericks need an infusion of athleticism, playmaking and scoring at the wing positions. As is every coming roster decision, how the Mavs approach these areas of need will depend on what happens with Deron Williams and the resulting dominoes.

For instance, will Jason Terry and Vince Carter both move on, or will one or neither? At small forward, Shawn Marion and Kelenna Azubuike are the only true strong forwards on the roster. Marion averaged 10.6 points last season and scores mostly off slashes to the basket and offensive rebounds, while Azubuike has to prove that he can be a rotation player after being out of basketball since 2009 because of a major knee injury.

At shooting guard, Eric Gordon and O.J. Mayo are the most attractive names, however both are restricted. The New Orleans Hornets will likely be willing to match any offer Gordon receives. That remains to be seen in Mayo's case, but the Mavs would only be in that chase if Williams stays with the Nets.

Small forward options are thin with Gerald Wallace, who might re-sign with the Nets, restricted free agent Nicolas Batum and the Lakers' Matt Barnes.

Here's a quick glimpse of a few wing players that will be available in free agency:

Shooting guard

1. Jamal Crawford, Blazers -- Opted out of his $5.2 million deal to become a free agent. A former Sixth Man of the Year, he could be a Terry replacement depending on his market value.

2. Nick Young, Clippers -- Made $3.7 million last season. He loves to shoot the rock and shoot it and shoot it.

3. C.J. Miles, Jazz -- Has made it known for years that he'd like to come home to Dallas. A former teammate of Williams' at Utah, Miles' progression hasn't been great and he seems in the mold of Corey Brewer.

Small forward

1. Grant Hill -- He loves Phoenix, but if Steve Nash leaves, might Hill? What if Nash and Hill come to Dallas as a package?

2. Anthony Tolliver -- Hasn't scored like he did a couple years ago and he's a 32 percent shooter from beyond the arc.

3. Bill Walker -- The former Kansas State star has shown with the Knicks that he can be a positive player when healthy.
