Well, Stackhouse wasn't really "going" anyway, was he? George? Pshtt. He's a loser, and I can't wait to see Cuban tell him that his services are no longer required this summer, and that his fuss over "Early Bird" rights was really unnecessary.
Uh lets not get prejudiced. Yeah what a loser though. He hurt us 2 years ago and is coming back to hurt us again. lol

I still think the trade sucks for Dallas, but it sucks less since they're able to retain Stackhouse.
Mavs aren't going to have much to counter bigs with.
Now that we're getting Kidd, George might still get a payday in a S-n-T. But his days with the Mavs are indeed numbered.
Just like Dallas to trade Kidd away in his third season and get him back at the tail end of his career. We settle for the bun instead of the patty. Kiki Vandeweghe, Derek Harper dribbling out the clock, Roy Tarpley, 11 wins, Toni Braxton, Miami, Golden State...another chapter in the tragic majesty that is the Dallas Mavericks.
Findog, I gotta ask about the sig, does the dude on the front really say that?
No, it just always shows up on the Worst Album Covers lists. The actual story is that it's some sad song about how the dude needs to hurry up and get home because his daughter is going on her first date and he wants to see her off. But he stops off at the bar for a few drinks first, gets into an auto accident on the way home. When he comes to, he tells the nurses "tell my daughter I'm okay." And they're like "well, you'll have to tell her in heaven," i.e. he killed her himself in the auto accident. It just looks like sexual coercion from the cover:Findog, I gotta ask about the sig, does the dude on the front really say that?

What are the Mavs going to do for a backup center? Go small with Bass and Dirk when necessary?
I know Mavs fans have talked about Kurt Thomas and PJ Brown. Not both just as options.
The good news is that they've used their options up for another trade.
Eh, you don't need two 7 foot Centers. It was a nice luxury, but they'll be ok with Damp and Bass.
Really, Duncan will abuse whoever is on him, and Shaq can't play more than 30 minutes a game, so Dampier is good for that. And Bass abuses Yao, so I'm not sure what team we're actually worse off against without Diop.
We'll see what happens. I admit I don't like Diop being gone, because Dampier has become injury-prone. Right now, you're looking at Dampier for 25-30 minutes a game, Dirk for another 10, and I'm guessing Malik Allen and Juwan Howard for the rest.
Kidd looked happy at the all star game, said he had a gut feeling it was done.
What're you going to do when Damp gets in foul trouble playing Shaq, Duncan, Gasol and Bynum?
Like I said, I'm not worried about it with Shaq. He's just as prone to foul trouble.
Duncan will destroy whoever. It doesn't matter. Diop played a nice little stretch of D on him in Game 7, but it's not like it really mattered who was guarding Duncan throughout that series. He did just as much against Dampier and Diop as he did against KVH.
Damp pretty much owns Gasol. That may change now, given the context of his new team, but that remains to be seen.
Bynum, I dunno. I think his injury is worse than the Lakers are letting on. I'm not sure he's a threat (this year).
Yeah ok
No, dude, you were supposed to make an ultra-contrived comment about playoff choking, or perhaps a reference to 4 championships. This "yeah ok" stuff is below par. Where's your A game?Yeah ok
Does league rules allow Diop to be traded again, so soon after his trade to New Jersey?
So Keith Van Horn's career comes full circle as he returns to the team that drafted him in 1997. Will this rejuvenate his corpse of a career? Will putting on that Nets uniform remind him of the best years of his career and convince him to come out of retirement to shine once again in front of the Nets faithful at the Izod Center?
I think so, but not to the team he was traded from.
So once Diop is traded, he's done with the Mavericks.
Juwan Howard will be getting lots of minutes now that Diop is gone. Trust me.
I think Dallas is still a top 3 Western Conference team. I think the trade eases matchup problems with the Spurs. Kidd is a lot easier to stop than Harris, especially for the Spurs. Plus, now you have to have the entire team defense focus on Parker, which should free up our other guys to hit shots. But can the Mavs still beat the Spurs in the playoffs? Yes.
IIRC there is an exception to the rule. A player can be traded again within 1 week of being traded as an individual (not a package of multiple players).
Elson and pick for Diop?
I thought the Spurs could beat the Mavs even without the trade. If they don't address their thinness at C, then we have a even bigger adv.
I think this trade maekes the mavs better though. Just not against us and maybe some other teams. They desperately needed a spark, a leader, and someone who could make the right play with the game on the line.
Who knows, itll be interesting to watch.
Juwan Howard is horrible man. You can have him back.
