    Awful trade for the Mavs if they swing that deal.

    I don't know about you, but I'd rather have Carter than Howard. :dunno:

    Howard is younger and has a much more manageable contract. VC is just another gunner.

    The Mavs need a post player. Their PF is a soft, face-up jumpshooter.

    Haha, this is awesome. Dallas and Phoenix's owners have gone insane and are ruining their franchises. Carter to Dallas is a great thing for Portland.

    Good news for us. Dallas' window closes even more, and their way to ineptitude gets quicker.

    Re: OT: Kidd and Carter back together

    Dirk is an amazing talent. to relegate him to only a "soft, face-up jumpshooter" is wrong. They may need another downlow post player, but how are they gonna get one of those? One that is actually legit? I don't see it happening for Howard

    Howard also is an idiot and definitely not someone I would want to try and build around. Carter is a much better player right now and with Kidd retiring soon, the Mavs might as well load up for one more push. Getting Carter pushes them above us in the 2nd half of the season. Jerry Stackhouse is nothing to them because he isn't even playing, and they get Dooling who is a good defensive pg for them behind Kidd.

    Why is everyone acting like this trade has actually gone through?

    I don't see anyone acting like it's already gone through. Only the OP with the title of the thread.

    Howard seems to kill us every game. Carter...not so much.

    In addition to the ridiculous title, we also have:

    "Wow... Mavs somehow get older"

    "Haha, this is awesome. Dallas and Phoenix's owners have gone insane and are ruining their franchises. Carter to Dallas is a great thing for Portland."

    "Good news for us. Dallas' window closes even more, and their way to ineptitude gets quicker. "

    Re: OT: Kidd and Carter back together

    Carter is a much better player than Howard. While this, if true, might shorten Dallas' window, Dallas' window was pretty much already based entirely on Dirk. Howard wasn't going to extend the window beyond Nowitzki's basketball expiration date. Carter makes the Mavs better while Dirk is still a tremendous player.

    None of those quotes show anyone acting like the trade has gone through.

    I guess we have different grasps of the English language, and should agree to disagree.

    Re: OT: Kidd and Carter back together

    Swapping Howard for Carter makes them a worse defensive team. VC can score, but his two years remaining at 17 million per is pretty awful contract for a guy on the downside of his career.

    This is trade would do for the Mavs what the Shaq trade did for the Suns. Of course I really hope they do it.

    Ridiculous thread title. It makes it sound as if the trade has been completed, when in fact it has only been discussed.
