You can only blame other issues to a certain point before you need to take responsibility and make it happen.

All valid concerns but you have to factor the team. The Mavs' organization as a whole (coaching, med staff, owner, culture, system, player leadership, etc...) would be a great situation for Howard and could very easily revitalize his career.
Not sure he'd be a #2 option but he'd definitely have room to work like he had in Orlando with Rick's system. If we get him involved early then some of the concerns you mention won't be an issue because he'll get plenty of touches from Barea and Parsons or whoever is running the offense which should make and keep him happy. In fact he could very well be the best player on our team and not have to worry about dealing with a primadonna like he's had to deal with on the last two teams. Probably one of the reasons he was so successful in Orlando.
Howard and Parsons should be top priority imo and if guys like DWill and Felton want to be a part of it they should be the ones to make the financial sacrifices. Howard will have a more prominent role in taking us to a championship than DWill imo.
