Its Official - J Kidd to Dallas

[ChumpDumper]

yes! It's all coming together!

MAVERICKS RECALL NICK FAZEKAS

DALLAS – The Dallas Mavericks recalled forward Nick Fazekas today from the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA D-League.

Good news for the Toros.

[Amarelooms]

After Kidd's contract runs out, who's his replacement? Consider how crappy the 2009-2010 FA crop of PG's will be:

A 36-year old Kidd;
A 34-year old Andre Miller;
A 31-year old Mike Bibby whose D is horrible now and will just get worse;
Stephon Marbury
Eric Snow;
Brevin Knight;
Damon Stoudemire;
Smush Parker;
Jamal Crawford if he doesn't exercise his '09-'10 option;
Marquis Daniels if IND doesn't pick up his option

That's it. That's all that'll be out there when Kidd's contract is up. Unless we can pull off a miracle trade for young PG, Kidd's successors will be Terry and Barea-the-midget who couldn't guard his mom if she was in a coma and stuck in block of frozen nitrogen while buried up to her neck in sand at the beach.

We re-sign Devin of course

[Jeremy]

Stackhouse said himself that he isn't going anywhere.

And how much money are teams really gonna throw at him? Not much more than what Dallas is willing to give him.

But another team could TRADE for Stack before the Nets buy him out.

[BonnerDynasty]

If Stack is really gone...

thank You For Getting Rid Of Stackhouse!

That Mf'er Was A Spurs Killer.

He will be back in 30 days

[BonnerDynasty]

damn I was hoping they wouldn't just scoop him back up

[mavsfan1000]

Mavs trade Daniels for Croshere
Mavs get rid of Mbenga for Juwan Howard
Mavs now get rid of Harris and Diop for an over the hill Kidd. It is official. The mavs GM is an idiot.

Devin was ok but nothing great...always hurt and not gonna lead a team..yet at least. Diop could play decent D but was probably THE WORST OFFENSIVE player in the league. If Stack comes back...good trade

[mavsfan1000]

I'm willing to bet the mavs are a worse team now or the same. They are not going to get better considering how much we gave up. We got 1 year to win a championship. This is just a ridiculous amount to give up to get Kidd.

[lurker]

It's a ridiculous amount to give up for anyone not named Kobe Bryant.

[Findog]

Seriously, three good months out of Devin Harris and we're treating this like we just lost the second coming of Oscar Robertson.

exaggeration.

Are you kidding me? He's been a competent PG in this league for HALF A SEASON. THAT IS IT.

He's been a very good PG in the league in his fourth NBA season. Scrub as a rookie, inconsistent with signs of promise his second and third years, while finally becoming productive in his fourth.

Mono: " this Google stock at $100 a share. Sell it, it's going nowhere."

I'm not saying Devin is on his way to being a HOF'er, but his performance has been trending upward.

[Findog]

How does "mental toughness" guard Chris Paul, Tony Parker, Steve Nash? Too bad Mark Cuban is making major roster decisions because of Dr. Phil pop psychology.

Spurs fans have to be thrilled with this trade. Unless we can turn it around and land a Maggette or Mike Miller for cheap, I don't see how this makes us better. We just solved one problem and created two or three others.

[monosylab1k]

exaggeration.

You call me out on an exaggeration and then immediately compare him to Google? Good one.

Devin Harris was a second tier point guard with limited court vision. We just traded him for an aging point guard who still has arguably the best court vision of any player since Magic Johnson.

And look at Harris' development. Calling it a snail's pace would be an insult to snails. He'll be a top-5 point guard by approximately 2017. Awesome.

Our team is better for this trade - bottom line. Long term we may be worse off, but I'll worry about 2011 when 2011 gets here. 2008 is the ONLY year to worry about right now.

[endrity]

Tony Parker is sleeping extremely well tonight. So is Duncan.

You should add a pic of Kidd to your sig.

I'm glad this trade is made because Harris and Stackhouse killed the Spurs...maybe im the only one lol

[big3bigD]

The more that I hear about this trade, the more that I like it, and I have been huge on Harris since he played at Wiss. Stack being bought out and returning and Gana being able to return (he is a F/A) after this season makes this a much better deal than I had originally thought. I would still love to see them add Miller or Magette somehow. Or even Cassell as a backup, but that is just wishful thinking.

Stackhouse is going to remain a Mav.

[Findog]

I'll allow that it could be a huge payoff for the Mavs, but we'd better be cooing sweet nothings in PJ Brown's ear to make up for the loss of Diop. Hopefully they have a plan in place since we're now much weaker at C.

[monosylab1k]

I would still love to see them add Miller or Magette somehow.

I really think Maggette would be a spectacular addition. His slashing ability would fit perfectly with Kidd. But considering the Grizzlies will accept dog for their players, getting Miller would be easier.

If we add one of those two, I think we establish ourselves as the best team in the Western Conference (on paper).

word is Grizz won't give up Miller without getting rid of Cardinal as well.

im tired about worrying about the future...this team has won jack crap in 28 years. this team needs to worry about NOW!!!

[Jeremy]

Stackhouse is going to remain a Mav.

Not if someone trades for him before the Nets buy him out.

[monosylab1k]

It won't happen. Do you think the Mavs would do this trade without an under-the-table agreement that Stackhouse will be bought out? Plus it makes sense money-wise for the Nets to do the buyout, instead of making a trade that will eat more cap space in the future.

i do enjoy how Sun Fan is doing everything possible to downplay this trade and throw a wet blanket over it. don't be so insecure guys, your Shaq trade was still way cool! you got tha big fella!

If the Suns wanted to take on the salary, they could trade their $8 million trade exception (and even their 1st round Hawks pick) for Stackhouse. The Nets would do that deal in a second, rather than do a buy-out. Unless, of course, some under-the-table agreement with the Mavs would stop them, as you said.
