The Minnesota Timberwolves and Houston Rockets, who have been discussing a Mike James-for-Juwan Howard swap in one form or another since the February trade deadline, have agreed in principle to finally complete that deal this month, ESPN.com has learned.

An announcement of the trade's completion could be made as early as this week, according to NBA front-office sources.

The holdup stems from the possibility that another player or two could be added to the deal, sources say. The teams, though, have verbally agreed to a straight-up exchange of James for Howard at the very least.

"We expect for the deal to be officially consummated as early as tomorrow," James' agent, Bill Duffy told Houston television station KRIV.

For all you NBA fans, you know what this is setting up. There has been a rumor going around that the Rockets are trying to acquire Ron Artest for a very cheap price which may be right according to espn.com insiders. This leaves a major hole in your PF position so they are going to do a few more trades it might look like. I'm excited!
