Who's going to run the point for the Nets until Harris is healthy?

Mavs have lost out on this deal. Silly giving up a young talent in Harris.

Nets should be laughing @ this deal.

I like this from J E Skeets blog on yahoo.com:

"Mark Cuban is a happy drunk. I was hanging out at a bar on Bourbon Street with the guys from Hardwood Paroxysm, when we noticed Cubes over at another table. I asked him when the Mavericks were going to land Jason Kidd. "Man, I already got a kid," he cackled. "No, no, two D's, Mark." Well, he thought that was just about the funniest thing he'd ever heard. It really wasn't that funny. And does Cuban even have a kid? What a guy!"

Now he has a Kidd

I don't think you can necessarily judge it just yet. For me, the equation is this: is the Mavs win a title in the next 2 seasons (this one or next), then it was worth it. If they don't, then it wasn't.

FWIW - I can't see them winning a title with this group, even with Kidd.

Yep, the success of the deal will be judged over the next 18 months. Most GMs would gladly sacrifice a young talent if they thought they were a chance at a title in the next couple of years.

Kidd has played in more playoff games than any Maverick and has also been to the NBA Finals twice. So
I think the Mavs do get better (in the short term) with this deal but I'm still not sure they are good enough to win it all. I would have them behind San Antonio, Phoenix, Boston and Detroit at this stage. Utah, Houston and New Orleans will also be tough but they should be able to take care of them.

IMO everyone is rating Harris to highly, yes he will be good but NOT that good.

Thank you bizzy!!
devin harris is getting over hyped. He is amazingly fast and has the potential to be a good player but he will never be a great player.

New jersey nets already have a good young point guard in Marcus Williams but i think he has an attitude problem and fails to get solid game time and play efficiently.

Thanks Dallas.....all us Laker fans need now is for Shaq to break down, and then San An is the only threat

To clarify, I do think the Mavs got better, and tougher, by acquiring Kidd - just not enough to win the championship.

Fez - I still reckon there's a handful of teams who can legitimately stake claim to being title contenders.

I hope Dallas dont win now because of Stackhouse

I agree Bizzy. I watch a lot of Dallas games and not sure when Harris became Bob Cousy. As a fan I happy to see the Mavs shake thing up a little.

Harris Kidd
PPG 14,4 PPG 11,3
RPG 2,3 RPG 8,1
APG 5,3 APG 10,4
SPG 1,4 SPG 1,5

As australia's biggest Dallas fan, i think its bloody this trade happened. And for bizzy, your a genius. nuthin against Harris, but he's no J-Kidd (and never will be).

All official and a done deal now.

Kidd will feature in a Mavs uniform real soon.

Vince Carter could be on the move soon too. Knicks or Pacers might score his banged up services.

now see them as a detroit championship season type team minus the interior presence offensivly and defensivly, which happens to be a neccessity for championship teams. if they held on to diop they might've had a chance. may aswell have done it though, harris is ovveratted, and thier future isnt neccesaily screwed either cause they get massive cap relief from Kidd's contract

I found this inside on the trade from Mark Cuban quite interesting.
