George has blocked the trade

[PharoaheMonch]

He has exercised his no trade clause and the deal is in limbo right now. wow. Just heard this from the Nets announcers (Raptors V.S Nets game)

Who would have thought

[catalyst]

I was just getting to accept this trade. Why wouldnt he do this? It may be his only hope of playing time. Nets cut him, and he can sign anywhere.

Yes, this is great. It would have been a horrible trade.
how could you think that Jason Kidd could be a clutch shooter. Is this the same guy they called Ason Kidd because he has no J. THis year he is having the worst shooting year ever. Shooting 37.6 from the field. I think DH is shooting better than that this year. I think this was a bonehead trade. I would have rather traded Devin Harris, and Stack for Pau Gasol then this trade, and looking what Memphis accepted for Pau we could've easily gotten it. This is a horrible trade. If Devin wasn't included it would be great. I don't think Stack is coming back to Dallas. Why would he? He can sign with Phoenix. We don't have a backup center anymore just a injury prone Dampier. We traded way too much to get Kidd. Why was the two round draft picks and the money about? I mean come on. Anyways, Jason Kidd is 35 years old, and is a horrible shooter, Yeah he can rebound and assist. But he may only have 3 years left in him. In 3 yeras, Devin Harris could be an allstar for the next 10 years. Devin Harris can defend and is quick, Jason Kidd can't defend anyone, especially the all star guards in the west. From this trade, we got older, slower and more contract. If Devin wasn't involved it would be okay, but the fact that we had to trade DH, Stack and Diop doesn't sit well with me at all. I think this is the worst trade in mavericks history. I wish we could've added KVH's contract and kept either Stack, diop or someone. Not too mention Kidd isn't exactly a stand up guy. He was traded the first time because he thought he was all that and had a big entourage. He has domestic violence issues, just not a good trade overall. How bad does Cuban's decision not to give Steve Nash at age 32 15mill a yr, when he trades away the bench to get a 35 yr old Kidd at 20mil a year, especially when Nash won mvp the next 2 years. Also, the mavs have officially traded away almost all of there trade pieces. They clearly won't ever give up howard and they almost have to keep terry now. First of all, Kidd is shooting 37.6% from the FIELD, this year Harris is shooting 47.8%, Harris who is not the best shooter is shooting much better than Kidd. Harris is faster, better defender and young. Kidd is old, slow, yeah he can rebound and assist but that's it.

F MARK CUBAN, HE"S AN IDIOT

I'm curious to why he did that. Nobody in the Dallas front office has to be happy with him right now.

[Rand10]

If they really want this trade to get done I'm sure there's another way. KVH maybe?

[Rand10]

Eddie Jones + Juwan Howard would work.

[Sofa King]

Best thing he ever did for the Lakers.

[PharoaheMonch]

I don't know why he did it, but you have to admit...it is hilarious

[mavsfan05]

this doesnt mean the deal is off by FAR.... you think George has the power to stop this trade? F him, throw someone else in there. And for all you Kidd Haters, Harris will never be the PG that he is, even when Kidd is 40

[af420balla]

Why do you think this is a good trade for the MAVS? Devin Harris has a higher effiency rating, takes more charges, goes to the line more, is faster, better defender, 10 years younger, makes 4x less than KIDD, is on the upswing, KIDD IS ON THE DOWNSWING, HARRIS HAS A MUCH HIGHER SHOOTING PERCENTAGE> WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? HONESTLY.
I would have to think about trading Harris for Kidd straight up. Honestly, much less the original proposed trade.

Switch out for Hassel no biggie we were not getting the better end of this deal anyway even there with Devin being so much younger and having a better FG%. The Wrgiht deal would still go through allowing us to add a 6'7" SG which I feel is cool since he played behind Vince and could be a find. I'd rather keep George as a wing to back up Howard and Stack than Hassel who has been useless. George can hit a 3 and play decent defense for a backup. Maybe this was part of Cubans strategy? Makes me wonder.

[af420balla]

Check your research before you assume that Kidd is better overall than Harris. This is why I'm pissed because understandably the media is underestimating Devin Harris but what pisses me off is the Mavs fan who don't understand his importance.

Repeat after me: THE ENTER KEY IS MY FRIEND.

[Low-Ki]

What happens to the separate Wright for the second rounder deal? That would have went through on it's own right?

[OhMyBosh]

Best thing he ever did for the Lakers.

QFT.

[aschneider970]

i cant believe this, i have mixed feelings about this trade....i dont want to see devin leave tho

[arkuo]

hahaha Drama in Big D, baby!!!! gotta love the NBA....

[Shak23]

Why the heck does Devean George of all people have a no trade clause? Odd but hilarious....

[af420balla]

Wouldn't you rather make a trade and trade less valuable players and end up with Ron Artest or Jermaine O"neal? Why give up your entire bench for a 35 yr old kidd who can hit the backside of a barn.
