So Howard wants to play in NJ with Deron and....not much...but he doesn't want to play in Dallas with the majority of this roster intact? That doesn't make sense, people. I'm not going to call it a lock or anything, but it's ridiculous to act like Dwight wouldn't stay here if we traded for him. The odds are very high that he would.

Taking less money to get away from Orlando is one thing. Taking less money to leave Dallas, one of the three places he's already mentioned he wants to be? Come on.

Also, Erica, the Mavs can wait to see who they can get to sign here before making all of their roster trimming moves. The only move that would have to be made ahead of time is Odom. There's no way the Mavs are going to trade away all of their assets for nothing, amnesty Haywood and be left with a bag. Not going to happen.
