that sounds like a very hefty price tag.

Mark Cuban has more money than God.

 

[milohimself]

Even if God didn't watch basketball, he could have made a better trade... All those guys together are not worth one Jason Kidd.

... But TWO Jason Kidds... Are you there, God?

Mark Cuban could afford to have Kidd cloned.

Dallas just significantly weakened their team.

harris and diop were big losses

Stackhouse was the toughest guy on that team. They'll revert to being a soft, passive team without him.

but I can understand giving up Stackhouse due to his age. Harris and Diop both add defensive punch to Dallas. Looks like they're left with about 1 defender on the team.

Kidd will be able to do another Mavs commercial stating he will turn the team around 360 degrees!

 

[droski]

Stackhouse: 33
Kidd: 34

mavs knew just like the suns they were not going to win a championship with the teams they had. this will be the most competitive west we have ever seen

I think Cuban's ego trumped his business acumen this time.

dallas certainly didn't get more competitive. they'll give up 105 a night with this crowd.

Don't look now... Devean George exercised a clause in his contract in order to block the trade. Turning into an interesting little story here.

 

[BigPapaVol]

would be funny if geaorge ended up providing the sanity here.

 

[hatvol96]

Who in hell gave Devean George a no trade clause?

Who in hell gave Devean George a no trade clause?

ha ha. that was my first question too.

This trade will be terrible for the Mavs. Lawrence Frank will sure be happy if it does fall through
