Dallas and Washington traded talent this week.
First Dallas---they get Caron Butler an all star that is almost averaging 17 points and 7 rebounds. He will replace Josh Powell which is a huge up grade. Brendon Haywood also joins the Mavs. This was a good move because Eric Dampier hasn't been effective since hurting his knee. Haywood is averaging 10 rebounds a game. The Mavs also get Deshaun Stevenson. A decent backup.
Washington is clearing house by unloading contracts and gaining potential. What kind of potential is the question. Josh Howard averaged 19 points last year. Injuries and attitudes have landed him on the bench with decreasing minutes. He has potential to be the team's leading scorer. Sorry to say that his behavior could land him sitting next to Gilbert Arenas. I'm not sure this was a good move.
