Dallas Morning News - Josh Howard and the Mavericks aren't making much progress in their contract negotiations, as the forward is looking for a deal similar to the one signed by Tayshaun Prince last October.

"The first number that came out [from the Mavs] wasn't anywhere near what Tayshaun makes," Howard said. "It was for five years, but it was $20 million less."

"It's a negotiation," Donnie Nelson said. "Sometimes they move quickly and sometimes they move slowly. Everyone's worst-case scenario is not such a terrible thing ? to wait until next summer. Nobody should sign a deal they're not comfortable with."
