I wouldn't give up Marquis straight up for the idiot.

While I agree that this would be a bad trade based on Artest's history, I think you'd be hard pressed to find many fans or basketball people outside of Dallas that would put Howard anywhere near Artest's level. I mean it's not even close, really. Artest might just be the premier defender in all of basketball, and he has a complimentary offensive game to go with it.
If Artest was not a head case, no team would ever trade him, and a package of Terry and Quis would be laughed at by the Pacers.
How sad is it that his problems are so bad, that deal would probably be laughed at the other way by Dallas?
