The Mavericks apparently are willing to part with either Jason Terry or Josh Howard to sweeten a potential deal. The Mavericks would be obligated to accept an expiring contract of the Wizards, the one belonging to either Etan Thomas or Mike James. -- The Washington Times

I'm not sure how well Howard's patriotism would go over in the nation's capital. Plus he doesn't really seem to help us much and he'll be gone after one or two years.

Unless we were a contender next year (we aren't), there's no reason to make that trade.

I've gone on the record as a Rubio ***** but not one of those plays impressed me. A hustle play, a badly thrown oop, a slow release 3 in the corner and a pass I see made everytime I play pickup?

kg I'm glad you've already declared yourself to be a Ricky *****

1. The draft class is full of non-star power. After #1, it's all a crap shoot for the best role player-- AKA this is a "weak" draft in terms of the lottery. You're not going to get many franchise players this year. Meaning being top 5 this year doesn't say much about you.

2. The highlight was of the same game and only a minute long. I would wait to bash a season highlight reel at least.

I would wait for a few years before I say there aren't many franchise players in this draft..

I also dont see why Rubio is a top 5 pick.. We already seen this before with Jason Williams.
