ESPN's Mark Stein covered all sorts of topics in his "Vegas Chatter" column, but the thing that jumped out at me was this blurb about Dallas/Sacramento trade talk involving Ron Artest.
"Yet the Kings continue to insist that the team that ultimately gets Artest will have to take Kenny Thomas' contract as well. NBA front-office sources say the Mavericks were told several days ago, for example, that an offer of bruising power forward Brandon Bass, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse and $2 million to cover Stackhouse's guarantee in the 2009-10 season would not be enough to reunite Artest with new Mavs coach Rick Carlisle. (Dallas has no interest in a Josh Howard-for-Artest swap in any incarnation.)"
While the Kings just drafted Jason Thompson (who has looked promising in summer league play), they are still rather thin at power forward, and the possibility of adding Brandon Bass and his 15.95 PER has to be appealing...

Cuban Posts Fans Responses On Blog
Dallas Mavericks Team Owner Mark Cuban said he felt sick to his stomach after posting fans negative comments concerning Dallas forward Josh Howard Friday. Cuban not only posted some e-mails questioning Howard's allegiance to the USA, but posted their e-mail addresses as well. The Dallas Morning News reported that many of the e-mails printed had some vitriolic racist language as well.
Someone Help This Man
Drop your agent, fine, but drop your agent and talk smack about the team that currently employs you? Not so bright. I have no problem with a player internally doubting whether he made a correct business decision to stay with a team, but to publicize your feelings to ESPN is not always a brilliant idea. Ron Artest recently told ESPN.com that, he immediately regretted his decision...
What Was Josh Howard Thinking?
Skip to about 1:42 in the video below. "The Star-Spangled Banner is going on. I don't celebrate this shit. I'm black." What is Josh Howard doing saying this crap on camera? The only reason I post this is to remind athletes and their advisors that it is too easy to have one small comment at a charity flag football game end up a topic of national conversation. In this digital world...

By now, you've probably heard about Josh Howard's controversial appearance on YouTube, where he denounced the National Anthem and then endorsed Barack Obama (SON!). But after tonight's vice-presidential debate between Gov. Sarah Palin and Sen. Joe Biden, Howard has changed his tune, announcing he'll now support the "Maverick" ticket of McCain-Palin. Shocking...

In Defense of Josh Howard
My take on Josh Howard and his weed smoking....we got bigger issues to deal with.
Howard Admits To The Error Of His Ways
Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard has courted the bright lights of controversy since last Spring. Monday he publicly admitted to pulling some foolish stunts over the last few months and apologized according to the "Associated Press". Howard realizes he has offended lots of folks over the last few months. Monday was his first step in trying to get back in the good graces...

The Biggest Loser: Josh Howard (-0.26) only played
the first half of the Mavs/Hornets game before deciding it was too much
for his sprained left ankle. But the real problem was his first half:
3-10 from the floor, 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in 17 minutes. It
looks like this is the type of nagging injury that could affect Howard
the rest of the season or cause him to miss some time.

Nowitzki Pours In 30, Leads Mavericks Past Trail Blazers 102-94
One would think that if your team gets called for three technical fouls and one of your better players gets ejected, then your team would implode somewhere along the way - eventually. But the Dallas Mavericks had other plans; specifically, Josh Howard was called for a flagrant foul and was subsequently ejected and Dirk Nowitzki was [...]
