WFAN radio in New York is reporting it as a done deal.
Doesn't cbs sportsline say something like Nets agree?
Waiting for Mavs agree.
By the way, can I safely assume it is the mavs who have been the instigators?
Considering they are throwing in picks and money...they must be the ones.

Some people are overrating Harris.
I like this deal as a Spurs fan, but Harris was not some lockdown defender.
I agree.
So basically they trade away all the players that gave us trouble consistently. Don't understand this trade at all.
I think from a Spurs point of view, Dallas made a huge mistake. I think that this could be an upgrade against everyone else though.
He's the only one who I have seen who could stay with Parker.
So are carter and jefferson going to pout now that jkidd is gone?
Kidd, Howard and Dirk as Dallas' "Big 3"
Parker, Manu and Duncan as San Antonio's...
How is that lopsided in any way?
well you can say the mavs were built to beat 1 team now they are better off against the rest of the teams.
1/8 - spurs
7/8 - rest of the league
ill take the rest of the league
So, is Pop's trade committee going to approve this deal or not?
no playoff collapses...championship experience...finals mvp's....anything else
Hahaha, yeah, cause Tony can't beat you by himself if he's given free reign with no one to stop him. Just ask the Cavs how easy he is to stop.![]()
Did I say that? I did not. However, Kidd and Nash will never be able to slow Parker on their BEST day as a defender. Huge mismatch for the Spurs.
I agree that this hurts us against the Spurs. I'm very much willing to live with that.
I'm not downplaying the mighty Spurs here, but I am of the opinion that I'd rather have this team better equipped to beat other teams in the playoffs. I'll take my chances with less matchup advantages against San Antonio as long as we're tougher against Golden State, Utah, etc.
We've gotta beat more teams than just San Antonio. Beating them is a huge deal, and by no means a guarantee, but who cares about beating SA if you can't beat Utah or Golden State?
this trade is sponsored by Pop's commitee
mav fan.....
is this a cuban move trumping aj's stance that the team was fine or was the coach behind a shakeup of sorts as well?
Thats was the Mavs main objective in the deal....that alone makes the trade great![]()
Looks like Stackhouse will probably be a Mav in 30 days
Maybe in terms of what's involved, but the Shaq/Marion trade is bigger because no one expected it.
I could care less what Avery thinks at this point. He's been mismanaging this team since game 3 of the 2006 Finals and I think he needs to get his together coaching the team instead of being focused on big trades.
But bringing in a smart PG probably makes Avery happy.
Cuban says Harris is a top 5 point guard.
I agree, you have to do something to deal with Golden State, but how does Kidd solve this problem? You still have no one to shut down their helter-skelter style of play. You need a Bowen or an Artest, someone to get up in their face. Kidd is great, but is he going to solve Dirk's problems in the playoffs? Dirk is still primarily a really really really really tall spot-up shooter. You still have no one to take it into the post and grind it out when necessary.
Also, I'm not sure of the wisdom of making yourself worse agains the Spurs. You're not going to be happy with Tony traipsing through the lane now like it's his own personal dance-floor.
I mean no disrespect, I just have to wonder how this is going to shake down.
Prediction:
Nets will buyout Stack and the Spurs will sign him and that'll be the big Spurs move we've all been waiting for. Then I'll vomit.
