Changes need to be made if we want to compete with the Spurs, Lakers, Rockets, Jazz, Suns and the Hornets.
We are the worst team in our division, just wow.

i wouldnt say worst but wow we are screwed this season.. I dont see why major trades arent getting done. This core needs to be dealt. We need to bring in some youth.
Time to start looking for potential fire sales for talent to be had for Jason Kidd's massive expiring contract...
Atlanta, if they don't re-sign Josh Smith they could be back to the cellar with some nice pieces to be had. Biggest name here: Joe F'in Johnson... We'd finally have the 2 guard to compete against other premier 2's. Guy is the complete package and would instantly make us better if he's to be moved for Kidd despite our lack of depth at PG.
New York, with a new coach with a completely different coaching philosophy and a worse cap situation than our own they are an obvious candidate for a fire sale. Zack Randolf is constantly mentioned in trade rumors along with Stephon Marbury. Kidd would seem like a perfect PG for D'Antoni's free flowing style.
Nuggets, plenty of high priced players on a roster of odds and ends so to speak. AI and K-Mart come to mind but I don't see any immediate improvement from any moves to be had here.
Miami (sorta), we could make a move for the Matrix who is an awesome player but not for his contract.
OR We could just place all our faith in our new coach like management has done at this point. I'm hoping we have some secret HGH scandal in progress breathing life into our guards from the NBA All-Star roster.... in 2000.
If we're lucky we can trade Howard and Dampier for Shaq mid-season and we can live it up like it's my senior year.

The Bulls also have discovered some interest in guard Larry Hughes, as long as they're willing to take a big contract in return. Since the Bulls need to thin out their backcourt, some possibilities could include Portland's Joe Przybilla, New York's Jared Jeffries, Dallas' Erick Dampier or Denver's Kenyon Martin.
Once again another BTB signing.... BETTER THAN BARERA!

Just like the chances of so many other HIV positive individuals to live having such a small window to save there lives Magic sits back like a fat elitist *******s with advantages others will never have.
Even in NBA terms, must be nice to have a trade partner like Memphis who's willing to help you out like they did when trading Gasol.

Josh Howard - Rounding out our five (OK, six) is Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard. Two years ago Josh was the long bright spot for the Mavericks in the playoffs. While everyone else got that deer-in-headlights look when Don Nelson and the Warriors went small, Howard simply took it to them game after game. The following year he was a driving force behind the team's historic 67-win season, and was named to the All-Star team as a result. Last year . . .a HUGE step backwards for Josh. Whether it was the drug habit he wouldn't shut up about, dreams of drag racing down Winston-Salem streets during the summer, or something else, Josh disappeared on the Mavericks when they needed him most.
Don't blame it on Jason Kidd, either. Josh had his best scoring month of the season in March, when Kidd was just starting to run the show. But for whatever reason, when April and the playoffs rolled around his shooting touch went south and he turned in the worst playoff showing of his career: 12.6 points per game on 29% shooting. It's that killer defense from Peja Stojakovic, right? Yeah . . . .riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Despite tons of speculation that the Mavs would trade Josh, new head coach Rick Carlisle is committed to a vision of the Josh Howard who was so good over the previous two seasons. If we don't see that Josh, the Mavericks are going to be a very, very bad team this year.

Devin Harris, New Jersey Nets
While the Dallas Mavericks struggle with Jason Kidd running the show Devin Harris is going to be one of the main reasons for optimism with the New Jersey Nets. This should be the year that the Wisconsin product explodes and really make the Mavericks regret their decision to trade him away. This season is about developing for the young Nets, and nobody will improve more this season than Harris.
