Josh Howard to Bobcats for Felton and Bell?

[bbh2020]

"Josh Howard
Even though owner Mark Cuban said he wouldn't trade Howard, that may have been his way of getting GMs around the league to start getting serious about their offers for Howard, which they haven't been so far.
The Mavericks are perfectly happy to keep Howard. When he's good, they're usually good. If he gets completely healthy, he could be set up for a good second half.
Deals that might fit: To Charlotte with J.J. Barea for Raja Bell and Raymond Felton; to Memphis with Bass for Mike Conley and Darko Milicic."

Whatcha think?

[TattoodCats4life]

I honestly think that if were going to make another trade with Dallas we would have done it all as one trade...

This sits well in my opinion..

Great find - and welcome to the board!!

I personally think that:
Bell has = value to Howard
and Felts has way more value than Barea

so I wouldn't go near this with a barge pole.

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

I don't like this trade, Felton > Barea

[G-Force for MVP]

no thankyou

[playoffs...PLAYOFFS?]

also, i forgot to consider the baggage that josh howard brings..it's not something i'd like for our team... based on this, i don't think this trade would ever happen

[Ghost Kat]

Howards best days are most likely done. This trade doesn't work out in the bobcats favor.

I don't completely agree with this. I actually think Josh Howard is still good and valuable. Now do i want to give up bell to get him? No Way. Bell's defense is too good. He locks down everyone.

[RELAXTV]

I like Howard, but not at the price of Felts and Bell.

If it's Howard and cheap fillers for Felts and(one of may, Ammo, Nazzy) then yes.

[BETCATS]

i love the idea.

We get a All-Star from NC (Howard)
And a young PG who can start/has a bright future, WITH EXPERIENCE who can start for us until DJ is ready.

you've gotta b kidding me??? this would be horrible for us....barea is nuthin more than an ok backup an josh howard is a SF...we have wallace an raja is a great defender who can put up points....in no way would this be a good trade

Howard is a All-Star who can play Shooting Guard but is a natural Small Forward. And dont sleep on Barea, he can start til DJ is ready. but i tried on trade machine http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=49~2753~3055~2006&teams=6~6~30~30&te=&cash= (http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=49%7E2753%7E3055%7E2006&teams=6%7E6%7E30%7E30&te=&cash=)

[BETCATS]

Maybe this is better. We would have to throw in a pick (like a couple of 2nd rounders) and Dallas is owned by Mark Cuban, so they can eat big salaries....

Yeah Raja can't be traded with another player for the rest of the season. The only way we COULD make a deal with them is to send Nazr and Felton (or another salary around his range) for Howard, then trade Bell for whatever salaries balance with his.

This idea is too farfetched for me...

[SWedd523]

For example:

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=2006~2753~568&teams=30~6~6&te=&cash=

then, http://games.espn.go.com/nba/features/traderesult?players=3055~2745~2761~2801~49&teams=30~30~30~30~6&te=&cash=

They really don't have any salaries that are in the same area as Raja's, and their lower contracts aren't anything to be wowed about

[Shrimpy_Jackson]

Wasn't Howard the one talking about smoking pot in the offseason? If so I'm all for this deal as long as I can burn a L with him before a few games. If someone could find me a smoking emote I'd be a very happy man!

[spectre]

I'm pretty sure there's a small window where Bell and Diaw can be combined with other players and be traded before the deadline. Remember all the NY/Diaw rumors?

Great seeing all the love for Bell! By trading him we'd be losing a leader on the court, and Howard certainly isn't a replacement in that regard. Right now (and probably next year too) if we want to make any noise we're going to need that leadership and his defense.

Be more trouble than it's worth too...Charlotte is way too close to Howard's home.
