Devean George Blocks Kidd Deal!

[Findog]

Pretty sure the Nets dont want Deaven freak George...just send another player with similar salary

George makes 2.3 million. Only guy close to him is Eddie Jones at 1.8...don't know if the deal works subbing in Eddie for Devean.

This is a major mistake. Lets say a deal does not fall through (the Mavs will probably just trade someone else instead of George), but if not what happens to the Mavs? Will guys like Devin Harris and Diop be angry and lose confidence? This is going to be a mess if Cuban does not fix it quick.

Agreed. I didn't want to do the deal in the first place, but leaving the roster intact after all this drama creates "issues" on top of issues that are already there.

Lol says the fan of a team that traded Marion and never told him personally...get the out

Marion didn't have a no trade clause you ing MO !!

This is classic, the Mavs have been the laughing stock of the league since their epic collapse in the Finals.. Let's recap..

- Turned a 2-0 Finals lead into a reverse sweep.
- Had the "best 50gm stretch" in sports history that lead them no where.
- Were the first #1 seed to lose to a #8 seed in the best of 7.
- Attempt a block buster trade, but fail to ask the one player who has a no-trade clause if he's ok w/ it..


Fookin EIDIOTS!!

Collusion! Mitch told him to do that!

[Trainwreck2100]

He was publicly asking to be traded a week ago.

Kobe asked to be traded too, but wouldn't agree to be traded to a crappy team. I.E. the Bulls w/out Deng. You still need to ask the guy

Maybe the Mavs could offer more cash to make up the diff??

Naaa i doubt it ...it could actually be a positive for Devin and Diop....make there asses work harder.

Anyway I would prefer to keep George's sorry ass...send Hassell instead..he sucks worse if that is possible at all

[BillsCarnage]

yeah the Mavs are so pathetic that they beat the Spurs in the playoffs. How's that task worked out for the Suns lately?

exact same thing it got the Mavs... JACK !

Replace George with Eddie Jones and throw in J.J. Barea and it works.

Then bury George's worthless ass on the DL or throw him in the D-League if he's eligible. He'll get boatloads of that playing time he desires down there.

[lurker]

If you want to blame someone, blame Avery. He's been giving Devean the playing time he wanted to make him happy. Of course he doesn't want to leave now.

"I think Devin has a lot of upside, but Jason Kidd is the type of all-league point guard our teams needs," Stackhouse said. "We just need a jolt. Adding a player like him can re-energize a team, hopefully."

"It's been kind of stagnant all season," Stackhouse said. "I think you just try to find the right piece. Maybe this is the right piece that really helps our team, that gets our scorers easy opportunities. Getting Pau or Shaq wouldn't have helped that case. Getting a point guard, that gets you easy opportunities. It solves that issue for us."

they have to do this now.

The trade has to be done now. What sucks for the Mavs is that they will probably have to give up someone a little better than Devean George like Eddie Jones.

[monosylab1k]

George is being an asshole right now but he's such a spare in this league, he will be convinced to agree to this trade or risk being blackballed for the rest of his career.

Nope, it wouldn't work. Plus, George is an expiring, which makes it worthwhile for their rebuilding.

[Trainwreck2100]

Nope, 3 mill is the maximum allowed

No way...Im keeping JJ and JOnes...Nets have to take Hassell

With Stackhouse throwing Devin under the bus and getting a boner over Kidd, they HAVE to make this trade. Leaving the roster intact ruins our chemistry, which apparently was not that great to begin with.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's basketball, so I"ll laugh. If Hillary gets the nomination over Obama, I'll cry.

[monosylab1k]

This is a funny little twist and all, but really all this means is that Kidd won't be in Dallas until after the All-Star break. Nothing more.

[himat]

All that talk about the Mavs psychology crap was overplayed, but if the trade is not done this could get nasty. The Mavs could lose out on a trip to the Finals because of Devean freaking George.

How much is Juwan Howard making?

If you throw in Eddie Jones than there is nobody to trade to Memphis for Mike Miller

[Findog]

I don't think that works. Hassell makes $4.5 million, maybe the Mavs reduce the cash payout to Jersey...either way, they have to salvage this trade now. They've committed to this course, I can't see the team chemistry being very good anymore, regardless of the X's and O's.

Who's the backup point? What happens if Kidd got hurt? They won't deal Barea.

$700k.
