This would be a mistake of massive proportions. I don't think it will happen though. Just more bs.
Wow. Please happen.

I dont think its as bad as people are making it seem.
Mavs as currently constructed have a little chance of getting out of the West. Though Harris has been a Pest for the Spurs, he is nowhere near the caliber of JKidd and all the talk about ball movement and easier shots aren't going to happen with Harris running the point at least not this season.
Its very risky though. But Dirk and Howard aren't getting any younger and if you're waiting on Harris to develop and become the leader...that could be awhile if ever.
For the Spurs, this trade looks great though!
Agreed. It's probably a good trade for the Mavs. Kidd is a stud and will make life easier for everyone on the Mavs.
But as a Spurs fan who has seen Harris, Stackhouse, George and Diop kill the Spurs in recent years, this would be like an early Christmas gift. Stackhouse especially turns from Antoine Walker's skinnier caveman looking brother into Michael Jordan when he sees a Spurs uniform.
As a Suns fan I'm also thrilled because Diop gave Amare fits, Harris torched Nash and Stackhouse always punished Barbosa down low. Kidd can still get to Nash, but not in the same way Harris did.
Oh wow, the articles states in a seperate deal that the Mavs would acquire Antoine Wright for a 2nd round pick
When did this rule come into effect? Just a couple years ago the Mavs did this with Alan Henderson.
Do the same rules apply to a buyout?
This deal reminds me of the Shaq to Pheonix deal. Mavs as they are built now won't win any championship. Like the Suns, somewhat of their weakness is lack of mental toughness and a gimmicky outside shooting reliance style.
Mavs are in a tough spot: Their current team can beat the Spurs and Suns in a playoff series possibly with a 50-50 chance. But, they prolly wouldn't be able to beat whoever comes out of the East or even teams like the Jazz, Hornets, etc. With Kidd, they can beat those teams, but their chances of beating the Spurs and Suns get lowered. Tough call, it will come down to matchups and playoff seedings in the end.
Gosh, the West trades are getting ridiculous. It's becoming a game of "Let's see you Top this!"
Yes. It came into effect a few offseasons ago.
after payton was traded to the hawks a few years ago..the hawks released him and the C's resigned him immediately. After this, the nba ammended its CBA to were a players traded then waived cannot resign with his original team until 30 days after his release
if i were stack, id say F the Mavs, you traded me, im not going back im going to sign with the celtics, pistons, spurs, etc
I don't see how this trade helps them vs other contenders. Harris has had some great games against the Lakers, and can they afford to lose bigman depth against LA's frontline in addition to the Spurs'?
Stack can come back 30 days after a buyout. Who are you going to trust - Marc Stein and what he's written or what some on Spurstalk writes?
Thirty days isn't near the length I thought it was. If they pull the trigger today, then maybe Stack can be resigned in time for the playoff roster?
Mavs offense is predicated on jumpshots, each player creating for themselves and thus they often get bogged down and when defenses tighten, they don't have any ball movement or easy shots. Kidd helps there big time.
ON the other hand
Harris is younger, better defender, and still improving. Good against certain matchups but not the leader or floor general the Mavs lack.
BTW this is on NBA.com.
Looks like it will probably happen!! Holy .
cbssportsline, up top, says it done. Tony Mejia isnt that shabby of a media man.
jason kidd signs with mavs and breaks ankle while boarding a plane for dfw.
reverse jinx-mode has been activated.
this would make the Nets the Spurs new nemesis lol
Stackhouse actually gave the Suns more problems than Harris did.
Not a good move for the mavs.
Don't forget the Suns were going to wait and see if anyone was bought out..
If that happens I be the Suns will inquire. I wouldn't mind Stack in a Suns uni too ;-)
You forgot the Suns'.
