Got the link to when Parker said the Mavs are no longer scary with Kidd something along those lines?

Jeff McDonald: Parker says, "Thanks, Dallas"

If Tony Parker had been allowed a spot on the mythical NBA trade committee that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich wants to establish, this much is certain: He would have given a big thumbs up to the swap that brought Jason Kidd back to the Dallas Mavericks from New Jersey.

Yes, the Mavs added a Hall of Fame point guard, albeit one in the twilight of his career. But the cost was steep, especially when viewed through the prism of the Spurs-Mavs rivalry. To get Kidd, Dallas essentially parted with two players who have been perennial thorns in the Spurs' side -- Devin Harris and DeSagana Diop.

Here is Parker verbatim following Wednesday's practice: "To be honest with you, I'm really happy for that trade. Diop was doing a good job on us. And Devin Harris, most of the time, he played good against us. So I thought it would be good for us. No disrespect to Jason Kidd, he's a great point guard, but those guys that left always gave us trouble."

In that, Parker was simply verbalizing the conventional wisdom floating around the Spurs' locker room in the wake of the Kidd trade. Harris is one of the few point guards on the planet who can keep up with Parker's speed. Diop was a capable big man, useful for banging on Tim Duncan.

Now, both are in the Eastern Conference.

(Incidentally, Parker agrees with his coach on the swap the Lakers swung to pry Pau Gasol from Memphis. He called that deal a "Christmas gift.")

As for the question of whether the Spurs are poised to enter the trade market before Thursday's league-imposed deadline, the answer is still a definite maybe.

Once again Wednesday, Popovich declined to rule out the prospect of a minor deal before D-Day. But he also didn't sound like the Spurs were exactly drooling over the available prospects.

"Oh yeah, it's amazing, the thrill and elation we feel at some of the possibilities," Popovich said, with an overdose of sarcasm.
