MainEv3nt Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) The Washington Wizards and Dallas Mavericks are close to a major trade that would send Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson to Dallas for Josh Howard, Drew Gooden and Quintin Ross, according to a league source. The Mavericks attempted to upgrade at center this summer when they sign Marcin Gortat to an offer sheet that was matched by Orlando. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64656/20100212/source_wizards_mavs_trade_close/ The Mavericks appear to have agreed on the major points of a trade that will send Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quinton Ross and James Singleton to Washington for Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson. The deal is not completely done, but a source said that the pieces of the trade have been tentatively agreed upon. The trade would also require league approval, which could take until after All-Star Weekend. Howard's contract for 10-11 is a team option, which could yield a payroll savings of $11 million for the Wizards. http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/64660/20100213/mavs_wizards_have_tentative_trade_in_place/ Edited February 13, 2010 by Epidemik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog17k Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hehe, I'm sure Wizard fans like this scenario a bit better than the Boston one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Wow. I hope Butler plays well for the Mavs. I don't want it to be that easy for the Lakers to make it to the NBA finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Would Butler even start for the Mavs? Who would they bench to start him, Terry or Marion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 w/e, saves money. I don't really have anything to root or look forward to for the rest of the season except tanking for a high draft pick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted February 13, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Dallas loses a defender, gains a defensive big (one that they've wanted for a while now), and they add an offensive threat in Butler. Dallas wins this trade by a mile. I just don't get why Washington feels the need to trade for Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wall2Wall Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hehe, I'm sure Wizard fans like this scenario a bit better than the Boston one. Not me. I'm super pissed about keeping Jamison. I absolutely hate the guy (as a player). I wouldn't mind trading him straight up for Scalabrine. It would save us a crap load of cap room and at least we would play SOME defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
