Haywood out in DC, Jamison next?

Haywood and Jamison

Well, while no ex Tar Heel made the All Star game this year it does not mean that there is no news about them this weekend. From the nation’s capital comes word that seven footer Brendan Haywood is heading to the lone star state to join the Dallas Mavericks, a move that the Bullets Forever blog (of SB Nation) does not think is a good idea, calling it an all-around epic fail. But before you think the excitement is over, the other Wizards’ blog I follow closely, Truth About It (TrueHoop Network), told me on twitter that there is a good possibility that Antawn Jamison could be headed out of town as well. Possible destination? Boston! So while 108,000+ people watch the All Star game at the new Dallas Stadium, one ex Tar Heel is packing his bag and the other might just be right behind doing the same thing.

From ESPN’s TrueHoop Henry Abbott believes that the center could be the big catch of the trades. And while this is going to sound like a homer comment I think he is right, and the Haywood’s numbers I believe prove me right. With the season still in the balance for a lot of teams we will soon learn if this move will make the Mavericks a contender or a pretender in the West.

As I do with all the Tar Heels let me wish all the best to both Brendan Haywood and Antawn Jamison, wherever they may end up.
