If the Mavericks are ing stupid enough to get rid of The Basshole right before I begin my league domination, then they don't deserve my badassness!
Bass is a spare. Too undersized. He will always be inconsistent as the height disadvantage is always working against him.

Yea Barkely sucked
Rarely is there a player like Barkley that succeeds. He was a phenomenal athlete and big boned. Bass is nothing like Barkley except they are both undersized PF's.Yea Barkely sucked
I'd rather keep Bass than Smokey. Artest has the same kind of game as Josh, only he's a better version.
Brandon Bass is Kenny Thomas at best.
The Blazer bandwagon has plenty of room. Go keep tlong company.
God, you're stupid.
Bass is at least 2 inches taller than Barkely, as well as a phenomenal athlete and strong as . Fail
Bass has no low post game. Similar to Kenny Thomas. Kenny Thomas is also a good athlete but athletes with lack of skill don't go that far in the nba. A jump shot is all he is.
Ok, you're just a troll. Kudos, you got us to bite.
The Ticket in Dallas just reported that the Kings offered Artest for Howard straight up.
Mavs rejected it.
the Mavs.
I am so ing pissed off now. I oughta kill everyone in Dallas.
ARE YOU ING KIDDING ME?
THE MAVS. THE MAVS FO. DONNIE. JOSH HOWARD. ERICA DAMPIER. STACK. CUBAN U LITTLE GREEDY YOU TURNED THIS FRANCHISE INTO ONE OF THE TOP THIS DECADE ONLY TO YOURSELF 8 YEARS LATER. EVERYONE ON THE MAVS EXCEPT BASS TERRY AND DIRK
I'm so ing pissed right now. me.
Yep, its been reported.

Wow, so we could be sitting in Artest heaven right now, and all we would have had to give up is Josh friggin' Howard. This is a sad day folks, the front office is a mess and full of morons, let me get this straight. We trade a young talented PG in Harris plus two 1st rounders for a 35 year old Kidd but won't budge Howard for the superior Artest? Wow, just wow. Look what we have done this offseason:
- Fired Avery Johnson, Hired Rick Carlisle (Both good moves)
- Signed Desagana Diop (Good move, but overpaid and puts us at 2006-2007 level again)
- Signed several below average to average swingmen
Now that's what I call a championship contender! Great job Donnie and Cuban, you idiots have never really been able to sort things out. There's no way we have a shot at the le with the current roster, no way in . If we lose in the 1st or 2nd round, if we don't win the le this year, I hope Dirk demands a trade straight up. I am furious at this team's management right now, furious. Ron Artest was our only chance to get a better scorer, improve our defence tremendously, and acquire toughness all at the same time. Guess what? We'd rather keep Josh Howard, who has proven nothing other than the fact that he folds in the clutch and has a big, stupid mouth. Bravo Donnie Nelson, bravo Mark Cuban, you continue to prove your stupidity throughout this offseason. God I'm pissed off right now!
Well, I can't wait until the Lakers pick up Ron Artest, get the #1 seed, and then probably whoop our #8 seeded asses in the first round!
somebody needs to get www.firedonnienelson.com up and running immediately
wow wtf,i went to click on that link again and it says page not found?
That's just sad, especially if the Kings didn't insist on dumping Kenny Thomas' contract on us. Josh is just as much of a risky head case as Artest.
it. this front office isn't serious about winning.
all the 15-67 seasons year after year didn't deter me as a Mavs fan. But absolute ing bull like this makes it real hard for me to stay a fan. I may take a leave of absence until Donnie Nelson is removed from his post.
The dumb s better have something in mind if they are keeping Josh. If he is still the same black hole hole pot smoking hot tempered little face by the time the season starts then kill me.

The Sacramento Kings have expressed interest in acquiring Dallas Mavericks forward/guard Josh Howard in a trade for All-Star forward Ron Artest, but the Mavericks aren't interested, according to an NBA source.
The Mavericks reportedly were willing to offer forward Brandon Bass and guard Jerry Stackhouse for Artest. But the Kings wanted Howard included in the deal, halting the discussions.
Because the Mavericks won't budge on Howard, a potential trade for Artest is all but dead, the source said.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban declined comment in an e-mail to The Dallas Morning News.
A deal for Artest would have given the Mavericks an All-Star caliber starter at every position except center and reunited Artest with head coach Rick Carlisle, who coached Artest when he played for the Indiana Pacers.
Trade rumors have swirled about Artest this summer. The Kings and Los Angeles Lakers were reportedly in talks about an Artest-for-Lamar Odom swap, but that has since fizzled. The San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns also have shown interest.
Artest, 28, is one of the top defensive players in the NBA and has averaged 16 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game over his nine-year career. Artest has career playoff averages of 17.3 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.
Artest (6-7, 248) is with his third NBA team but doesn't seem to be slowing. He averaged a career-best 20.5 points per game last season with the Kings.
Bass and Stackhouse for Artest would have been almost a wash in terms of salaries. Artest is set to make $7.4 million next season. Stackhouse will earn $7 million next season and Bass $826,269.
Stackhouse, 33, averaged a career-low 10.7 points per game last season, his 13th in the NBA. The 23-year-old Bass, however, set career-highs by averaging 8.3 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season, his third. Bass (6-8, 240) spent his first two seasons with the New Orleans Hornets.
Howard, 28, averaged a career-best 19.9 points and seven rebounds per game last season, his fifth. He was All-Star in 2007 and will earn $9.945 million next season.
Howard, 6-5, had a rocky finish last season. He went on a local radio show and discussed his off-season marijuana use during the Mavericks' playoff series against the New Orleans Hornets. And after a playoff loss, he passed out fliers in the locker room inviting teammates to celebrate his birthday at a Dallas nightclub.
But despite Howard's off-court antics in late April, the Mavericks don't seem willing to deal the versatile swingman. At least not yet.
I bet Rick is pissed at the FO for not getting Ron.
