More likely, using the Mavs as the ultimate bargaining chip rather than a fallback plan. He is a terrific player but is close to being bat guano insane. I question just how much longer he is going to be an elite player. Shawn Kemp went from being a beast to being a washed up has been with just a couple of months of gluttony.
Howard to LA. So now I guess the plan will be A)Hope he doesn't want to stay (YEAH RIGHT!!) or B) try to get Bynum next offseason and hope to get CP3 with him?
