If that works under the cap, I would do it in a heartbeat.
My variation on the Charlotte trade rumor:
Josh Howard, DeSagana Diop for Gerald Wallace, Ray Felton, and Nazr Mohammed
I think both teams would consider it.

charlotte would never do that
Wallace is in Brown's doghouse. Best player on the team and a guy who always gives you 100% and Brown has a problem with him. 40 games into the season, that didn't take long.
Wallace is 2 years younger than Josh, so that cinches it for me. I would love to do Wallace for J-Ho.
really?
i watched some bobcats game since the trade, and wallace always played a lot (well except last game)
Sources: Augustin's injury affects deal
The Charlotte Bobcats, Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder put the pieces in place for a three-team trade late last week, but NBA front-office sources said Sunday that those talks have gone "dormant."
Sources told ESPN.com that the full deal, as originally constructed, would have sent Raymond Felton, Nazr Mohammed and Sean May from Charlotte to Dallas, landed Earl Watson and Dallas' DeSagana Diop with the Bobcats and shipped Jerry Stackhouse to the Thunder along with a future second-round pick.
The Boston Globe reported in its Sunday editions that a trade headlined by Felton and Watson was "in the works," but sources with knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com on Friday and again Sunday that the discussions have gone quiet.
"Dormant is a good word," one source said.
It was unclear Sunday night if the trade can still be resurrected or revised, but sources say one impediment is an injury suffered in Tuesday's victory over Boston by Bobcats rookie guard D.J. Augustin, which could suddenly make Charlotte reluctant to part with Felton. Augustin is expected to miss at least 10 days after he aggravated the abdominal injury in Saturday's victory over Washington.
If the trade can be revived, Watson would be moving to Charlotte as a veteran backup to Augustin, whose emergence has led many executives around the league to presume that Felton would be moved before the league's Feb. 19 trading deadline. Felton is playing on an expiring contract that pays him $4.1 million this season and will be a restricted free agent this summer.
The Bobcats, furthermore, have been to trying to add Diop to their front line as a defensive specialist since he was a free agent last summer. As ESPN.com reported in July, Charlotte offered Diop the same five-year deal worth more than $32 million that the 7-foot center wound up signing with the Mavericks.
Dallas has been shopping Stackhouse, Diop and Brandon Bass for weeks in hopes of acquiring a player of Felton's caliber. But if he winds up going to Dallas, Felton would have to fit into a rotation of lead guards which already features Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and J.J. Barea.
Mohammed and May -- whose conditioning has been repeatedly criticized by first-year Bobcats coach Larry Brown -- were earmarked in last week's trade talks as replacements for Diop to back up Mavs center Erick Dampier.
The possibility of Stackhouse winding up with the Thunder has been discussed for weeks, sources said, with that scenario first surfacing in a standard two-team deal that would have sent Watson to Dallas. Stackhouse, 34, has played in only eight games this season but can be bought out next season for $2 million, making the former All-Star's current $7 million salary a virtual expiring contract.
If these three-way talks dissolve completely, Dallas is expected to continue to push hard for at least one trade before the February deadline, with Stackhouse's cap-friendly contract and possibly another former All-Star -- swingman Josh Howard -- in play.
"Dallas is talking to everyone," one rival executive said.

This just confirms what I already know. All former Longhorns are pussy athletes. Tough it out, DJ, so the Mavs can attain mediocrity. I demand fresh blood!
I think they should trade Dirk for Shaq. I bet Shaq would take $30 million per year...
who would guard duncan now?
who would guard duncan now?
Are you referring to Diop? He was great against Duncan in the 06 series and has been since.
then yall would give up crackhouse
this team is really going to end up like the sacrmento kings if they dont watch out
If a team trades for J-Ho they will give up a player they think sucks and probably does. J-Ho has lost his trade value. What has this guy done on the court in 2 years? J-Ho looks like a first half player. He starts off good because the teams are playing relaxed then he disapears come the second half. When the Kidd trade happened J-Ho was one of the players thought would benifit the most. J-Ho I thought was known as a slasher. You would think Kidd and Howard would be hooking up all the time. Every team that trades with the Mavericks are going to be looking for a of alot more because of what the Nets got for Kidd.
Have you even seen Jho play when dirk isn't playing? His punk ass plays great when he's either the number 1 guy or with out dirk. It pisses me off how good he can play when dirk is out. I think he averages around 30 points a game when dirk is out. He even gets like 8+ fts in those games. Some teams gotta want him, he has a great contract and could be a great player. I think it's just time for us to split with him.
but isnt that supposed to be? when your #1 player goes down and the #2 player steps up and increases his overall production, how can you get mad at that?
He seems to not give a crap most of the time Dirk plays. When Dirk is out he plays like he could all the time circa 2006.
J-Ho also had a good 5 game stretch last year when Dirk went down against the Spurs.
Anyway, I'm calling tonight against denver a MUST ing win. Why? Because if you go 0-3 against a 2nd tier team which the Nuggets are, then you suck.
Then I'm calling the game after against the Hornets at home a must win. Why? Because we got punked by them last year, and they're a divisional rival. If you lose at home to a divisional rival (Hornets/Spurs/Rockets) for the 3rd time in 3 tries, you suck.
Then I'm calling the Jazz game on Friday (or so) a must win. Why? Because WHY STOP THERE?
Although, if we win all 3 games, it probably doesn't change the fact that we're a mediocre team.
Amare for Dirk.
The latest rumor over here in Dirkland is:
Mavs get Felton, Nazr and Sean May
Cats get Watson and Diop
OKC gets Stackhouse and a 2nd Rounder
But its just speculation from german sports-newspage Sport1.de
If a trade like this should happen, I think Dallas needs to give Charlotte more than Diop for 3 rotation players.
Maybe its a realisitc trade, if they include Brandon Bass...
possible Mavs-Cats-OKC-Trade?
i will take it as a positive sign if they can beat those three teams all in a row. either way they need to make that trade
