They said the best player out of the deal was Brendan Haywood, along with Dampier he brings a lot of toughness and intensity on the defensive end. With Butler to the mix that is just instant offense for the Mavs and takes a lot of pressure off of Dirk. Was a good trade IMO, Goodens contract had one year left on it, and Howard had a team option at the end of his, so they will find a home for next season, next trade Washington will make will be Antwain Jamison.
