If the Wolves take OJ Mayo, then it's possible that Rashad McCants might be available. If we take Fatoine along with him, we could probably get them for Howard.
edit: nevermind, McCants is too small for my liking.
He's a fun little mascot to have on the bench. More entertaining than Mavs Man or Champ. If they could convince him to jump off a trampoline through a circle of fire and dunk the ball, he'd bring a little more value to the organization.

What I think the Mavs should do:
Draft Trent Plaisted with the 51st pick. Unless he greatly impresses in training camp, send him down to Albuquerque.
Let all the free agents go except Antoine Wright and Lue.
Split the MLE with Primoz Brezec and Brian Skinner.
Do a sign and trade with Golden State: Josh Howard for Kelenna Azubuike and Marco Bellinelli.
Azubuike is a good scorer with a great rebounding rate for his size (6'5").
Marco Bellinelli has quite an at ude problem(refused to go to the D-League) and never established much of a relationship with Don. But believe me: the guy can flat out score.
In one of the last games of the season, there was a time when in 17 minutes he scored 19 points.
Why Dallas does it:
They finally get rid of Howard.
They get a guy who can do what Howard does, if only he had more PT(Kelenna).
They get a guy who can straight-up score(an easy bet for the 3point contest next year if he gets PT) in Marco.
Why Golden State does it:
They get rid of Bellinelli.
They bring in a good scorer and rebounder in Josh Howard.
They're able to get rid of Azubuike so they can focus on re-signing Monta and Andris.
Roster outlook:
C Dampier/Skinner/Brezec
PF Nowitzki/Bass/Plaisted
SF Azubuike/Wright/Stackhouse
SG Terry/Bellinelli/Jones
PG Kidd/Lue/(scrub)
Put Jones on the IR with Plaisted, who will be in the D-League.
doubt we will be able to make any trades with GS, considering the issues going on now with Nellie and Cubes.
i think we could get more for Howard than a couple scrubs off the warrior's bench
The Mavs should seriously consider dealing Kidd if the right trade presents itself. I think Carlisle can get better results out of him than Avery did, but he won't guard Chris Paul or Deron Williams any better under Rick than the Little Dictator.
Doesn't matter what the Mavs do. Their best chance was against the Miami Heat. After that,. GS will never trade with the Mavs because they don't want to help the Mavs in anyway. Besides trading with the Mavs potentially helps take away that bubble playoff spot the Warriors always seem to be on.
um... no one in the league can really guard them well. Tony Parker is half as good of a defender as Kidd, got eaten up by them, but the Spurs still won the series. The Mavericks gotta find ways to consistently score the ball. The offense concerns me quite a bit more. However, I think getting J-O'neal will help on both ends, which is a big reason why I personally would like having him here. He is a very overlooked and underrated defender.
They aren't scrubs.i think we could get more for Howard than a couple scrubs off the warrior's bench
I still think the best course of action is to nuke it. Dump all salary except for Dirk, tank the out of this season hoping for a top-3 pick, and get to work today on a sales pitch for Kevin Durant. It won't happen tho.
Only problem with Jermaine is he cant ever stay healthy. If he could, that would be well worth it.
I don't think the Mavericks are as far off as fans and the media think they are, considering all the chemistry and coaching issues that they had this year.
Oh I agree, I think Avery really ed this season up. If I had known he was the reason that there were so many issues, then I would not have wanted the Kidd trade to go through. I really thought that it was Devin's inability to run an offense, but apparently I was wrong, as Avery's terrible system even made Kidd look like an average PG.
Mavs are possibly trying to make a move into the top 10 of the draft. Trading chip of choice would be Bass, not Howard. I normally take nothing Mike Fisher says seriously, but I'd be all for making this move if we get Joe Alexander. Kill me with death if they go after Gordon.

We?
I take it you aren't really a Wolves fan?
I doubt it.
I think Father Time had more to do with making Kidd look like an average PG than Avery Johnson did. His averages in Dallas were not actually that far off (some even improved) than they were in New Jersey for '07/'08.
Then why do you have the T'Wolves listed as your team under your avatar?
You're new here, right?
His shooting was better, and that was because he had a better team, and was able to actually shoot open shots. not just have VC dribble around until 2 seconds are on the clock and if he isnt forcing a bad shot, hes dishing it out to kidd for a forced shot.
Avery had one of the worst offensive systems ive ever seen. Avery wore out his welcome in Dallas.
Yes.
Care to elaborate?
The mavs are an embarrasment so he changed his team.
Thanks for the clarification.
So to avoid embarassment, he changed it to Minnesota?
I dont really know about it but thats what i'm guessing. The second the mavs got raped by the hornets, I think he changed it. But idk Minnesota lolThanks for the clarification.
