Diop makes sense for a lot of teams...

Josh Howard for Beasley would be good for the Mavs if the Heat wants him. To make the salary match the Heat has to throw in Chris Quinn or some other player.

Only real news I see here is Diop. We knew the Mavs are basically shopping everyone on the team except Dirk. Everyone also knew Howard would be the top trade bait because he is the one with the most POSSIBLE talent. I emphasize possible because he certainly didn't show any in the playoffs this last season. Howard needs to stabalize his game more than anything. Play consistantly crappy, average or great instead of the coach having to worry and wonder which Howard will show up for each game. I could easily say that the drugs comment is the reason but that would be missing his biggest weakness which is scoring consistantly.

Unless the drugs are the reason his scoring is son inconsistent. Hmmmmm.

ARE YOU ON CRACK? Why would the Heat trade a potential franchise player for an underachieving pothead? You've been getting high with Howard, haven't you?

what teams?

lol heatfan is back look at the first 3 comments.
beasley is better than HOWARD!

Just trying to respond to "tell it like it is..." If the Heat wants JHo then that's fine w/ me. Hllywd, you are probably questioning the guy who wanted JHo. JHo is not a bad player. He stunk in the playoffs but he has an all-around game. And to answer why would they trade Beasley, base on what's been talked about Riley doesn't really want Beasley. So who is really smoking here. Riley is nuts for not drafting him and undervaluing Beasley.

Riley is probably trying to retire for good so he is messing everything up in purpose.

every thread i read i have to see your comments that make me dumber for having read them

As a Maverick Fan, I can tell you that Josh Howard is way overrated. Give credit to Don Nelson and Avery Johnson for putting Josh Howard in position to succeed. But when push came to shove Josh couldn't handle the pressure, much the same way he can't handle the ball. Jason Terry was the real second star on this team. Dallas may want to consider moving Stackhouse and some of those spare parts they picked up last season.

maxwellinformed,

As a Maverick's fan, what do you think about reacquiring Diop for the mid level exception at $5.5 mil. Worth the money? You can't teach height you know.

Josh Howard is the best 1st quarter player in the league ... he will light it up for 16 in the first and then hes nowhere to be found.

You are probably right on the money that's why I made the comment of trading Beasley for him base on some fan's suggestion. We need a Beasley type player for the Mavs or maybe Darrell Arthur or Al Jefferson or Lamarcus Aldridge. The Mavs are only missing a low post player. The Mavs should have traded Dampier and JHo for Jermaine O'Neal. Theres your connection w/ Carlisle plus JHo will join Marquis again in Indiana. Also Damp will go back to his original team that drafted him

Diop is Good. Played great defense for us and even started to do some scoring. I would definitely rather have Diop at center than Dampier. We don't really have a backup center right now. So I think signing Diop would be a good thing. No, a great thing. The just need to drop some of that other dead weight, Juan Howard etc.

Signing Diop is a good move, but at the whole exception, with the team over the cap and needing to fill several roster spots? It's risky. Also, I would still make the move into the later part of round 1 tonight and try to draft Roy Hibbert. This guy didn't get bad overnight. He was a top-5 pick last year if he'd come out. 7-2, 275, he's worth a shot, especially if the Mavs can move Dampier.

Lamar Odom for Josh Howard straight up yo!!!

guam baller. with your logic it would also be good to trade howard for dwight howard, lebron or kobe.

I am a mavs fan too but we cannot get value for him right now. his stock is low low.
yes,sign diop. one thing that twerked me off was that cuban did not pony up the 3 million for the darrell arthur pick. paul allen did. if arthur is any good he should take some flack for this.
