A night of drinking may have spelled the end for Josh Howard in Dallas. According to multiple team sources, the Mavericks benched Howard for their Jan. 20 game against the Wizards because of a hangover after a night of partying. The incident was added to a lengthy list of questionable off-court conduct toward the end of his tenure with Dallas. The Mavericks, who were already shopping Howard and wanted to protect his trade value, announced that he had a stomach illness. He was traded to the Wizards last week as part of a seven-player deal that brought Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to Dallas.

ive only seen him do well in like 4 games lol.. beaubois should be taking his minutes.

otr welcomes all mavs fans kthnx

why would lebron shake hands an all that when he lost a close game like this an him slippin cost them the game. lebron wants to win and is a true competitor, and for them to lose on a slip like that would make anyone mad. it isnt a cry baby move at all, people r really blowing it out of proportion.

On Mavericks owner Mark Cuban saying he thought Howard would be "re-energized" by a change of scenery: "Whatever. It's a new start. I'm going to give it my all. As far as being reenergized, that's the question you have to ask him because I was energized when I was down there." On being blamed for the Mavs' failures: I became "the one that they thought was the problem. The one thing that I can say is unfair, is the guy that came back from injury, came back early, still came out and gave you positive minutes and you trade him. It's that simple. If anything, you can say that's hard feelings, but other than that, it's a business." On his time with the Mavericks, which included an NBA Finals trip: "I did a lot. I contributed to that team, but I know I helped them get to that. Even with the negative stuff, it showed me people's true colors. If I could take it all back I wouldn't. The bad things I spoke from the heart and I said it at the time and I apologized for a lot of that stuff. I deeply regret it, but those things are in the past. You can change nothing. You just have to keep moving forward and bettering yourself." On trying to prove to the Wizards to pick up his $11.8 million option for next season: "I know I ain't going to go out there and chuck up shots to get them to sign me. I want to work for it and make them see that I want that option." On the first thing the Wizards told him: "We wanted you. They said other teams tried to get me, but Washington got me and I'm happy. Players, sometimes, you feel like a piece of meat, they beat you up, chew you and spit you out, but it all revolves back to the business part. But that's what you get yourself into when you enter into the draft, pretty much. You just got to be ready up here. I have no problem being here. I love my new city, my new team." http://mavsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/02/josh-howard-happy-to-stick-it-to-the-mav.html

please trade jj barea for a 2035 2nd round pick or a stale have eaten bag of chips. i dont care wha his potential is, everytime he comes in he over dribbles, takes some dumb [expletive] shot or passes to a player in a bad position. he only plays good when kidd is out there makin the plays. he couldnt work with howard, him an terry is the worst back court ever. only thing hes good at is playing good in nba 2k lol.

mavs did this year of kidd trade. only problem was it was stackhouse that came back.
