I think too many people miss the point. The point is not whether Artest is better than Howard. The fact of the matter is Artest's market value doesn't warrant a Howard at this point so why give in?

JHo did not exactly increase his trade value this last season...
This may be trading one problem child for another problem child. And, both might "go crazy" in a good way for a new team. It is hoped that JHo will "go crazy" in a good way with the new Mavs (coach).
