I smell a rat - The Devon George block.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Something's not right.

My gut tells me a few of the guys got together. The Diops, and Stackhouses, and whoevers, and discussed among themselves that they can stop this deal if Devon blocks it.

I doubt he made this decision on his own. Something smells funky.

Stackhouse wanted the trade...Diop barely speaks english

[TDMVPDPOY]

diop knows he has to stop this trade somehow,

cause this dude only plays defense, and he knows, i know, you know cuban is going to overpay him for his services....

My cousin said there was discussion of Stackhouse being bought out by the Nets, and him going back to Dallas.

your cousin speaks the truth.... you should ask him about sports more often

[Shank]

Ban!

Actually, George is apparently protecting his Bird rights.

[kingsfan]

Mavs aren't smart enough to come up with that plan all on their own.

Which means...they can re-sign him at a lower price?



Sidenote: How in the does Devon freaking George get a no-trade clause?

Blame the CBA, not the Mavs.

If Stackhouse wanted the trade why did he say "I get 30 days off and just resign here"

He wants Kidd...hes gonna rest for 30 days then sign back with the Mavs

[jmard5]

Yup, Nets will buy out Stack, then Stack goes back to Mavs again.

"The greater hesitation, sources said, is that they would also have to part with Stackhouse and Diop, weakening Dallas' depth. Even if the Nets do waive Stackhouse and Dallas is able to re-sign him after a 30-day wait, losing Diop is a significant blow. His departure would leave the inconsistent Erick Dampier as the Mavericks' only veteran center at a time when potential playoff foes like the Los Angeles Lakers (Pau Gasol) and Phoenix Suns (Shaquille O'Neal) are getting bigger..."

George is on Pop's trade committee and vetoed the trade as per discussed with Pop

I'm just playing really....still sucks for the mavs...however I'm sure cooler heads will prevail and they'll eventually get Kidd. Should be awesome come playoff time in the West.

Did Cuban take the day off?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Stack must be the most pissed off Mav right now. He would have been bought out and then able to re-sign with his former team...the dude would have been paid twice!

Talk about the richer getting richer!

The second contract would be for peanuts, I assume.

The fact that you've read every other thread about it, and think that it's common and expected to do so, means you belong in the re / loser forum.

Good link.

Nice to see Laura's still alive. His comments make it seem like its just temporary. That his agent is looking over things. ESPN is making it sound like Devon's cancelled the trade.

[Jason_Terry]

Maybe they were all scared less at the thought of playing for the Nets in New Jersey and this was the best plan they could think of to stop it.

George was a Laker. Pay attention.
