Josh Howard- Curry for Howard.

That's a great example and one the Mavs might actually do. It would make too much sense for us, though!

With Zach on the squad, this kind of deal makes more sense- push Zach to center, Lee as the 4, Howard as the 3- and then its just fix the back court.

I think we've seen the best Eddy Curry has to offer- at least Zach can board.

Eddy is cheap now- but he has an opt out that I would rather let another team worry about.

kirlienko was upset he was forgotten in the offense. he had to pass up shots for boozer + okur in their pick and roll game with deron.

now we have eddy + zach...i think the situation would be worse here. i don't think he would be that much happier, plus playing in a more pressure filled market doesn't help.

i think he would be great in toronto, but that's neither here nor there.

I would want to swap Curry for a defensive shotblocking anchor anyway. Allowing Randolph & AK47 be the first & 2nd option.

With say someone like Dalembert in the middle with AK47 on the perimeter around Randolph the defense would be very strong. Replace Marbury with a playmaker we draft. And add a pure SG who is a great outside shooter and I would say we have a contender.

it would have to be a S&T... he'd likely command $9 mil annually over a 5 year contract IMO, but if someone's crazy enough to pay him more, let them have him... maybe Isiah will offer him a max deal come to think of it.

There a lot of teams after Gerald Wallace- I doubt we're getting him.

if Isiah is willing to pony up the big dollars in a S&T scenario, they have a good shot at getting him (they could offer up the expirings, Wilson Chandler, Balkman & Nate)... but you have to ask yourself if it would be worth it at that point.

I think he'll be long of the market before we can use the expirings. Bobcats want Wallace back and the Mavs are among the many teams that could offer more in terms of talent.

Mavs have Josh Howard who's a better young player at the same position so i doubt very much they'd give up their best young talent & pay him big dollars to get him in a S&T.

i could maaaaybe see the Suns doing a Marion for Wallace & another asset type deal to get younger at that position & add more depth... ORL just blew their load on Rashard, so take them out of the equation... other than that, there aren't any teams out there with cap space right now, are there? unless of course he re-signs w/the Bobcats, which is a very good possibility.

Hey, I'm not sure why the Mavs want Wallace, I've just read that he's their no.1 offseason target.
