Really? Where did you hear this? I find that statement interesting. I think he'd win 6th man of the year in CHA. “Charlotte wouldn’t be interested in Terry.”

Any deal would start with Devin Harris, I'm sure, but Dallas would have to come up with another $8-$10 mil in salaries to send to the Bobcats. Nowitzki and Howard are out and Charlotte wouldn't be interested in Terry. I don't think Charlotte is interested in the 4yrs/$40 mil left on Dampier's deal, and asking Dallas -- a team that intends to contend for a title -- to give up two starters (for the right to add another and switch the position of a fourth) is a reach. Dallas doesn't have any large expiring contracts to throw in, or any draft picks with a reasonable chance of being very valuable. Josh Howard has played very little 2-guard in his NBA career and for a championship contender to move him (especially in order to replace him with a lesser player) is illogical. Moving Howard takes away two of his biggest strengths -- his relative quickness advantage against other small forwards and his rebounding (by moving him away from the basket). Howard's passing, while excellent for a forward, is nothing exceptional for a guard. Moving him would just be making a change for the sake of changing. It's not worth it. The idea that "Wallace will sign for the midlevel in order to win" is a pipe dream. 24-year-old guys (especially those who have already been underpaid for 3 years) don't do that. Money talks, and quite honestly he has as good a chance of being on a winner in Charlotte in 5 years as he would in Dallas. Besides, if joining a winner for cheap was his only motivation he would have probably already signed with San Antonio.

GW, along with all the other starters will be down for 30-35 minutes with the bench filling in the rest.

He would be a perfect fit. Howard would move to SG if Dallas signs Wallace. He would be a perfect fit.
