Reports are coming out that the Dallas Mavs and Washington Wizards are very close to trading:
Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, and one of following players (JJ Barea, Quinton Ross, James Singleton, or Tim Thomas)
for
Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson
I hope this trade comes true. The Mavs would upgrade their roster (with 2 starters being added to the lineup) for Howard, Gooden, and filler. Even better, Gooden may be released after the trade and return to the Mavs(after the 30 day waiting period)!
