new jersey for me because they build for the future
Dallas because they're going for a le that never would have come with Devin Harris.
New Jersey is getting a good, not great, point guard who in my opinion isn't going to get much better. It took him 4 years to get to this level.
I don't really think that New Jersey got the "better" of the trade, just that Dallas IMHO got worse.
If the Mavs don't win a ring this year or next, then NJ definitely got the best of this trade.
Right now, Dallas.
After this season, New Jersey.
of a gamble for Dallas. I thought they were pretty close as they stood.
New Jersey got a great deal. They had to move Kidd, and to get a young point with the potential of Harris' plus a big man and some picks was a pretty nice score.
Each team got what they were looking for: New Jersey is rebuilding and now has their PG of the future. Dallas is going for it all now and Kidd at the moment is an upgrade over Harris.
Along with their perimeter D, the Mavs decreased the quality of their post D at a time when LAL added Gasol to Bynum and PHI added Shaq to Stoudemire and while HOU still has Yao, UT still has Okur, Boozer, and Millsap, and SA still has Duncan. Stupid stupid move. Improved post D is what we thought should be a priority after the debacle of the Jamison/Antoine Walker/LaFrentz-at-C days, hence the dumping of Nash and the signing of Damp, and now we've 180'd. Stupid stupid...
I'm pretty sure they're not done tweaking the roster. If we can coax PJ Brown or player of similar caliber to come play 15 minutes a night for us for the next 3 months, can we stop hearing about how insurmountable the loss of DeSagana ing Diop is?
I've talked myself into this trade, I'm excited!
I disagree. I thought Dallas had a good shot with Harris. Harris will be a great point guard once he gets the freedom to play his style just like Nash.
I am going to say this: Devean George actually helped the Mavs. Instead of trading Stack and Devean they got rid of Vanhorn, Hassel, and Ager.
I have to agree with you sir.
The women of NJ got the better end of the deal for sure...
Welcome to SpursTalk, Joumana.
I didn't realize being a saint was a prerequisite for being a great basketball player. It's news to Michael Jordan, that's for sure.
I like how everyone thinks they just went headlong into this trade without recognizing that they'd have to replace Diop. If this trade has been floating around for a few weeks, certainly there have also been works to get another center. I think we'll see the Mavs make another move shortly.
Thanks Jason.
I didn't realize it was ok to be a wife-beater as long as you played sports.
It's not. If you're looking for sports figures to set the example for the rest of society then you've got some ed up priorities.
I'm watching Jason Kidd play basketball, not be president of the United States. I don't approve of his off-court behavior, but I could give a crap what he does with his personal life, as long as it doesn't affect the Mavericks.
So it's ok for sports figures to punch their wives in front of their two-year old sons because hey, that's how it is in society, got ya.....
So if your colleague at work likes to rape little kids, it's ok with you as long as he's productive and replaces the water cooler jug when it's empty, got ya.....I'm watching Jason Kidd play basketball, not be president of the United States. I don't approve of his off-court behavior, but I could give a crap what he does with his personal life, as long as it doesn't affect the Mavericks.

That's the exact opposite of what I said you stupid . Learn to in read.
Sports figures can do whatever the they want, and if you're so concerned with what they do off the court then your priorities in life are for . They're getting paid to perform a bull task in life that doesn't affect anybody but other basketball players.
If he's mayor of Dallas then I don't want him beating women. If he's lobbing passes to Dirk, then what he does with his personal life is his own business.
If I find that out, I'll call the cops on him just like the cops were called on Kidd. But I won't say he's unqualified to replace a water cooler because of it. Unqualified to babysit kids sure. If there's a way to ban Jason Kidd from being around women then go for it.
But how the does that have anything to do with his job of playing basketball?
Depends if Kidd shoots some shots over Dwight Howard in the finals with Bynum being courtside as Jeff tells the world "no surprises here"
