Big deals on Mavs swag

If you're longing for the days of three-pointers and rebounds, the Dallas Mavericks want to get you all decked out for basketball season, and at a deep discount.

The Mavs are hosting their summer warehouse blow-out sale at the AAC Saturday.

And it is a sale. Hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys, jackets and warm-ups will be priced 50-80 percent off the wholesale price.

At the time, the move seemed right especially with Ramon Vaz...



Mavs should trade Howard for Artest

The Dallas Mavericks' Josh Howard and Sacramento Kings' Ron Artest are the same age, 28.

Both have been All-Stars.

Last season, they averaged very similar statistics, Howard with 19.9 points, 7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game and Artest with 20.5, 5.8 and 3.5. If you total them with steals and blocks per game Howard has 30.3 and Artest 32.8. That's what I like to compare, their total contributions. Artest has an edge. He als...
