The deal the Mavs proposed was Stack and Bass and we would have taken on Kenny Thomas contract. I am pissed because Sac took the deal from Houston when our deal was just as good they were busting our balls…Moving Howard at this point is just a lateral move unless we some how trade Howard for a legitimate SG and then some how acquire a small forward that is just as good as Howard that’s when you see a josh for josh making sense… if you some how also do a sign in trade for JR Smith, Mike Miller, Cuttino Mobley, Wally Szerbiak …Somebody other than Terry, Green or Stack.....But it seems like the mavs FO are busy doing other things like buying the Cubs or being an assitant coach for the national China team.
