The New Jersey Nets are in serious negotiations with the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers about a blockbuster three-way trade that would send Jason Kidd to the Mavericks, league sources said Wednesday afternoon.
In the proposed trade, Dallas and Portland would send the Nets a package that includes the Mavs' Devean George and Jerry Stackhouse and Blazers forwards Travis Outlaw and Channing Frye and guard Jarrett Jack. Mavericks point guard Devin Harris would be sent to Portland. Along with Kidd, the Nets would send reserve forward Malik Allen and center Jamaal Magloire to Dallas.
Yeah, but that completely s up Dallas' chemistry (just when they are starting to gel). You don't move that many pieces that are important to your team's current play all at once. At the start of the year, maybe. But midway through the season? Bad idea.
Bad News ? Nah, I'm allright with it. Dallas gets a great PG but one that Tony has dealt with in the past. Jason Kidd has had trouble guarding Tony while Devin Harris has had some great games against him.
They also lose Stackhouse. He gave them a good punch off the bench. Still, its a uva deal for the Mavs. I'm just not sure it helps them beat the Spurs.
Kidd, Nowitzki, Howard and Terry will make up the core.
portland is completely ing stupid if they pull the trigger on that .
That would be a bad move for Portland.
dont do that dallas.
A dream situation for Kidd. Surrounded by shooters, fast-paced offense. A better supporting cast than he took to the finals, don'tyathink?
Devin harris and Jerry Stackhouse gone?
Two huge thorns in the Spurs's side?
Adios.
Kidd makes them a better rebounding team sure, but they lose ALOT of speed. Scoring also.
Surrounded by chokers?A dream situation for Kidd.
Hes had that in 02 and 03. Didn't work.
Anyway it's just a rumor
Nothing done yet
I hope they take that deal... Parker will own Kidd...
Who would Portland receive?
It would also get rid of one of their players that is performing well with a long future ahead of him for a guy that is on the final stretch of his career.
besides I think portland will pull the plug on this thing before it happens.
Having a jason kidd in a team is bad idea? Even the spurs made a run on him. I'm not a big fan of kidd, but if Kidd could change the fortune of low-life franchises like the nets, I think there's more reason that he could improve Dallas' chances of winning a championship.
Jason Terry is out with an injury, They suffer the same predicament as the spurs, so adding kidd on the lineup makes a lot of reason for them. They have tons of SF (Jones, hassel and stackhouse ), so a little room to move isn't really a bad thing.
so dallas is giving up a young PG for a 34 year old with one year left on his contract? i hope they can resign him if this happens.
I call bull - does anyone seriously think Portland is going to mess with their team?
nevermind...
I don't see Portland pulling the trigger. Portland is giving up a lot of role players, for essentially Devin Harris. They gotta be recieving more than Harris. Doesn't make sense from Portland's end.
We would never know what NBA teams are thinking. Scola got traded for money...what else can go wrong?
different move coming?...
The Nets are involved in discussions on a three-way trade with the Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers, as we first reported on the print side today.
The deal, which would send Jason Kidd to Dallas, includes at least 12 players, draft picks and some cash, and yes, it could happen.
League sources tell us that, the Nets would get point guard Jarrett Jack and forwards Travis Outlaw and Channing Frye, a No. 1 pick and cash from Portland and forward Devean George, center DeSagana Diop, swingman Jerry Stackhouse, a No. 1 cash from the Mavericks.
In the proposed trade, Malik Allen and Darrell Armstrong also would go from the Nets to Dallas, the sources said.

The Nets likely would buy out Stackhouse with some of the money they’re getting back, but they still would need to make another move before doing this deal. They essentially are trading three-for-six and with 13 players on the roster before the deal, they would have one too many after.
So the Nets would have to move someone else for a pick or trade exception or waive someone in order to have roster room to make this deal work. Unless, some names will be added or subtracted, but now you see why these deals are so hard to pull off.
The way I’m hearing it is Devin Harris is involved, but he would be going to Portland. The Blazers also would be getting players from the Mavericks. There is more involved in this proposal.
Why wouldn't the Nets getting Harris? My first thought exactly.
Maybe the Blazers insisted they get him or they want no part of the deal or it’s that Harris, who signed a five-year, $43 million extension last summer, is too rich for the Nets’ blood. Another factor could be the poison pill provision regarding Harris.
He makes $3.9 mill this season, but his trade value is $7.8 million because he signed that extension that starts next year so you have to take the average of the life of the contract.
That said, the Nets are trying to get younger, but also have some cap flexibility and draft picks to make other moves now, this summer and beyond.
This isn’t imminent, from what we understand, but it's in discussion. The Nets have to clear roster room and also surely are getting inundated with phone calls with other offers that they have to sift through in case something comes up that is better.
The Nets continue to say they’re in no rush to do something. They have three weeks and one day until the trade deadline and Kidd just publicly requested a trade two days ago, even though the Nets have been listening to offers for him and everyone else for some time.
Portland would never do this deal.
Outlaw Frye and Jack for Devin Harris?
That would be a monumentally stupid trade for the Blazers.
from the original Yahoo! article...
So the mavs could actually bring Stack back??The Nets would also receive at least one future No. 1 pick and cash. It's expected that New Jersey would work a buyout with Stackhouse and allow him to be a free agent. Other players could be included to balance the exchange of contracts.
Why the would they buy him out!??!
He'd be their best scorer off the bench.
That would be idiotic....
