I think we did give up too much, but the window is going to be closing soon as Nowitzki gets older so I do think you have to make a move to win it all when you can even if you have to give up too much to do it.

Diop and Ager both have contracts that expire after this year so they could lose them both anyway. Ager is a throw away anyway.

George is a good defender but cant get ay minutes because the MAvs are so deep so losing him hurts the bench in case of unjury but not much else.

It looks like we'll get Stackhouse back

The 2 1st round picks will be very low picks and very low 1st round picks arent worth much of anything in the NBA.

$3million is pocket change to Cuban,

So basically we lose Harris who is damned good but not quite ready to lead the Mavs to a championship. Kidd could well be although I wish we couldve gotten him 2 years ago. We would have a ring already.

Basketball and Football are 2 totally different sports and it takes totally different things to build / rebuild a team. Basketball has only 5 guys on the court at one time so, changing 1 player can make a huge difference and a team can rebuild instantly unlike football.

George blocks the trade, then gets the start last night due to Josh Howard being injured and promptly goes 0-11.

I say the trade still gets done without George.

I Don't Get This Trade.

This smells of panic and nothing good comes from panic.

The Mavs problems have been:
1) They settle for jumpers instead of taking it to the hole.
2) Defense.
3) No depth at point guard

So after this trade we will have:
- Less interior defense with Diop leaving. Damp will be it and he's not great.
- Still no depth at point.
- And even more propensity for jump shooting. Kidd is great when Carter is knifing to the rim but when everyone wants to take jumpers, how does that use Kidd's talents? Also, Kidd is a terrible shooter.


So we still have all the same holes and we got older at point? I don't get it.
