Josh Howard, Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop and Greg Buckner.

That's one trade combination that could land Minnesota's Kevin Garnett in Dallas under the NBA's trade rules. To pluck Garnett, the Mavs would have to ship Minnesota contracts that match within 25 percent of Garnett's $22 million salary -- or $16.5 million.

Of course, if Cuban commanded his front office to get a deal done, it would be a U-turn on the team's off-season road map to tweak and not trade key pieces such as Howard.

And just for perspective, an NBA source said the Mavs have had no contact with the T'wolves since draft night, and even that contact was more about draft position than KG. [READ]

Just for example--how about a package of Zach Lee and Balkman--that is a better basketball package--no doubt about it--in fact i dont think its close.

I don't think minny would want to add Zach's contract on off the court baggage- not when they are trying to rebuild and get over the Eddie Griffen experience. I mean, its simply classic how eddy crashed his car when he was otherwise engaged!

1) Who has more trade value, Eddy or Zach?
2) Who's a better fit with Garnett, Eddy or Zach?

My answers:
1) Eddy
2) Zach
