I'm just throwing this one up in the air. Josh Howard ($9.9M) plus fillers (maybe Eddie Jones and Juwan Howard) for Carmelo Anthony ($14.4M). Dirk stays at 4 and Melo helps the Mavs on the break. Better scorer, can get to the rim more and can actually get up for Kidd's alley-oop's. With Anthony, the Mavs can win now and long term. If they will be willing to deal with Josh' off-court woes, why not Melo's? The problem here is that Denver is willing to put Melo on the block because of his off-court antics. Josh is not exactly the role model Denver might be willing to gamble on. What do you guys think?
Seriously? This would screw the Mavs more... Melo and Dirk BOTH need the ball to score... they both dribble 1 or 2 steps to either side then pull up... Actually, IMO they have similar games especially because they are bother forwards who prefer jumpshots. Howard is a better 'sidekick' for Dirk.

I think Melo gets to the rim more than Josh and he runs the break better.
