cuban is an idiot if he pulls this trade
he couldve resign nash at half the price what it cost to bring in kidd
now it looks like his gettin served here if he goes through with teh trade
I don't think Portland does this but...
Dallas getting rid of:
* Harris, who is the only Mav that can keep up with Tony
* Diop, who is the only Dallas big who has shown any propensity for guarding Duncan in even small stretches
* Stackhouse, who has traditionally been a lethal off the bench presence against us
Where do I sign up? All for a 45 year old Jason Kidd and no low post help? Please let the Mavs be this stupid...
No doubt the problem goes beyond Kidd. Carter takes too many bad shots and their frontcourt is really young. If Kidd is a superstar, though, he has to share some of the blame for how bad the Nets have been this year, and I really don't see how he helps Dallas that much.I think the problem in Jersey goes beyond Kidd. His number has been pretty consistent as of late. Even if he keeps getting triple doubles the nets just kept losing. There has been rumors that Kidd attributes the loses to Thorn's mismanagement as well as Carter ball hugging antics. Kidd just couldn't play with Carter, since he's always out to do his own stuff on the floor.
the nets will buy out stackhouse and i wouldnt be suprised if he signs right back with dallas like alan henderson did when the mavs got keith van horn.
Hmmmmm I don't know whether to like this deal or not but the more and more i look at it and think about it I HOPE the Mavs do this deal. 3 big parts to their team possibly gone! Harris who can get to the rim when he wants like Tony and matches up with him pretty well, Stackhouse a solid scorer off the bench, and Diop who can probably guard Duncan the best from that team. All of this for a washed up J-Kidd, I hope they do this! PPPPPPPPPLLLLLEASE! lol.
Kidd is a great player, with Josh Howard and Dirk he's gonna great
Thing is these rumors about Kidd to Mavs have been flying for over a month. Just check here:

While I agree that this move would actually benefit the Spurs, I still wonder why the Mavs would even consider giving up so much to get Kidd.
They would have to wait I think 30 days to be able to re-sign him, and that's after he clears waivers (which I suspect another team would pick him up - his contract expires after this year - which is why I don't think NJ would waive him).
Yeah, and he'd also be a turn style on defense against Parker (has been for quite some time).Kidd is a great player, with Josh Howard and Dirk he's gonna great
Can't agree with you more. The Blazers will totally screw up their core if that deal pushed thru.
Duh. It ain't happening in the way they're reporting.
actually portland should do it
then if gerald green gets buy out, might as well go sign him, then get a veteran PG
Stein on SportsCenter said the 3 way talk was on for awhile but are pretty much dead now. That's all I caught.
IMO, it comes down to portland saying NO and mavs unwilling to part with Harris.
If this deal push through. Dallas is probably looking for a change in perspective (or probably they miss the old steve nash days). They have tried everything , including the kitchen sink, but couldn't get a le.
I admit kidd is part to blame. He let himself get frustrated by the persons around him - buy hey, his just human...
If the Mavs DO get this deal done, it will improve their chances of beating everyone else - EXCEPT THE SPURS
I don't think it necessarily spells disaster for the Spurs (we've got plenty of other things to worry about this season). But you have to be a little challenged in the imagination department if you think Kidd joining the Mavs has no upside potential.
It's a good thing that you point this out. Looking at it in a bigger picture, It might mean that the deal (if it pushes through) would generally benefit the mavs. The only downside -they're going to have difficulty matching up with the spurs. Sounds like a fair trade to me.
It's not always sunny in Texas. Sometimes it rains...A slimmer chances of beating the spurs is better than having no chance at all. I wish we can have kidd with the spurs instead (I know it wishful thinking).
I don't see how giving up their backup C who has played well for them and thus relying on Erica Dampier to give them a consistent effort + giving up on their improving PG makes them a better matchup with the rest of the league. Also giving up their 7th man in Stack. To me thats too much for "miracle worker" Kidd.
outside of dirk, stack and harris were the two mavs most responsible for beating the Spurs in 2006.
replacing them with a guy who couldn't stay in front of Parker when he was younger and has historically struggled against the Spurs' as they force him into a half court game.
this reeks of one of those knee jerk cuban moves that Cuban hasn't made in a few years. right now, our guys can't beat anybody, but assuming that they re-find their form before the playoffs, I think this makes the Mavs LESS of a threat (although still dangerous).
Too bad; this had the potential to wreck Dallas' le aspirations in spectacular fashion for a third straight year.
Please let it go through.
One strange note about Kidd, for all his greatness he has exactly "0" NBA les on his resume.
One factual note about Kidd, he is one of the most unselfish players in the NBA. Off the court, he seems like a selfish "drama queen". How else can it be that he's been shipped out by the Mavs, Suns, and Nets - only to possibly wind back up with the Mavs again.
Come to think of it...Maybe the real reason why he got shipped out of all those teams is because he's so unselfish that he gives all his championship chances away
Yup, and everywhere he's been it seems to end badly.
lol @ your signature
Kidd in Mavs' uniform is almost sure according to rumors, It means unless Mavs plays against Warriors, we are done.
