Marion to Dallas

AK-47, you're right, just read an article suggesting Howard will play guard for the Mavs. I don't watch much of Dallas, so I didn't realise Howard could realistically play guard. Assumed he'd be a little too slow, but perhaps he can make up for it with his length.

If Howard can successfully play guard, I think I will have to watch Dallas a bit more this season. They could be quite an exciting, up tempo team with Kidd pulling the strings!

Read somewhere that the Spurs signed Antonio McDyess. If so another great move by the Spurs this off season!

Beantown,

Just a suggestion, do you that Howard might start at SG and Marion at SF. That allows Terry to come off the bench where he is most effective and keeps both Howard and Marion happy.

Seems like a few teams are starting to get a bit desperate. A few samples of odd moves starting to go down in the last 24 hours...

1) Why would Memphis get involved here? Is Wallace expecting a favour down the track for helping out BC and Cuban?

2) What is Dallas' plan? Are they planning to run Dirk at centre with Howard and Marion as SF and PF? Gortat off the bench for Dirk, or starting against bigger teams? Or will they expect one of Howard/ Marion to come off the bench? I'm a bit unsure how well this will work - have to wait for the season!

3) Cleveland have way overpaid for Varejao - a Villanueva/ Channing Frye type would have been much more useful for them because they can shoot!

4) Blazers are reportedly chasing Millsap now and I can't see Utah letting them have him for any less than about $8-9 mill. Why would they want to pay that much for someone to backup Aldridge? Only thing I can think of is that Blazers think Oden is a bust and want to play Aldridge at centre, making room for Millsap at PF. There have bee rumours here and there about Oden, but I really can't believe they would give up on him after just two injury interrupted seasons!

5) Rumours that, despite the Grizzlies staff being against it, owner Heisley is still considering making an offer to Iverson! (Who was that guy they drafted to play SG again?!?!)

6) Another bizarre rumour that the Blazers would do a sign and trade for Lee, giving up Blake and Outlaw. See above for why Lee is an odd fit! To make this doubly loopy, Blazers would be giving up their starting PG and one of their best scorers in Outlaw! Would love this to happen, because it brings Patty Mills closer to getting playing time, but I just don't see why the Blazers would do this!
