dallas got a great deal but they are starting to become what the blazers used to be. The Denver Nuggets have traded Nick Van Exel, Raef LaFrentz, Avery Johnson and Tarik Abdul-Wahid to the Mavericks for Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway, Donnell Harvey, Dallas's 2002 first-round pick and $1 million. crazy ****

Dallas now has NVE, Nash, and Johnson for point guards. I was waiting to see if New York would be included in the deal at all because of how Dallas stands with their point guard situation. Oh well. We are still pretty talented having Camby, Houston, and Sprewell. Hopefully we will luck out in the draft and get Williams, Wagner, Ming, Gooden, or Haislip. Then grab a decent free agent or make a decent trade and we'll be set.
