HoopsWorld talks to all manner of Mavericks and they say they don’t regret the trade that will be spotlighted when Jason Kidd returns Friday. Devin Harris, they claim, wouldn’t be having the season he’s having in New Jersey if he had stayed in Dallas. Harris agrees. Kidd is having a great year, too, they note. But the New York Times thinks differently, calling the trade “Christmas-in-February” for the Nets.

Ofcourse they'll say that. You don't expect them to say how bad they messed up.

Can't wait 'till Devin torches the Mavs Friday night.. :clap:
 
I wonder how Kidd will be playing on the count of everybody saying the Nets got the better deal. I hope Devin goes for 40 against Kidd!
 
Kidd couldn't guard quicker PGs last season. This season he hasn't become younger. Devin, using his speed, must torch Kidd for 40.
 
That'll be the biggest upset if Devin don't get 40 Friday...on either Kidd or Barea.....Barea at 5-11 has been starting the past 5 games or so. May see some Kidd on Vince.
 
if Harris torchs Kidd for 40, and hopefully Carter plays great and the rest of the Nets play well and we kill the mavs:clap:

Nope, the Mavs still have Dirk, JT who has been on fire, and Josh Howard is back from his injury.
 
Dallas is really peaking right now and do i have to remind you the game is at the swamp.

Pretty much the truth right there. Also I expect the Nets to have a better road record than home. I wonder if any team has ever done that?

but you know Nets are going to start to win at home sometime, so you got to think next game might be the best one for them to win and Dirk is a bitch I hope they hurt him:devilwink:

Agreed. I mean, Anthony- freakin - Johnson put up 40 on Kidd in a playoff game a few years back in Indiana.
 
In Dallas last victory over the raptors Dirk had 27, Terry had 27, Howard had 20 with other bench players scoring. Oh and jason kidd shot 50% with his usual assists. If they stay healthy Kidd can go far with this team. BTW, they have a better record than the nets at 14-10, and have won like 6 of their last 7 losing to the fakers.

Don't discount Kidd and his court management skills. There is a reason Dallas gave up a boatload for Kidd. Dallas has a good shot of winning 50+ games this year. They will be in the playoffs and with Kidd having a full year under his belt and a better coach, expect them to go deep into the playoffs....


oh yeah, go nets!!!

we didn't bring Harris in to win a championship, mavs wanted Kidd to win one, I don't see them winning anytime this year, I guess when he walks to another team to get a ring they can try to get a player who will actually help them. I don't hate Kidd just the mavs so hope they don't win, which they won't this year so I am happy:clap:

marla basically answer this but I will take it a step further. The Mavs are done. Game Over man. D Wade killed them in the finals and the warriors buried them. The Hornets basically pissed on their graves.

Now the time will come where the Mavs realized they are not going to win anything with Dirk "soft as that bear that does the laundry commericals" Nowitzki. When they trade him the pieces they received could help them in the future.

Terry is old Dampier is old Kidd is old. At least with Harris and Josh Howard you have something to build towards the future. Now the Mavs are in a very bad situation. It will be years before they will be able to recover from this trade.

At least with Harris they would have something to build on.

As I said the Mavs are done. This reminds me of the story the Emperor's New Clothes. Cuban won't admit it because of pride but he is butt ass naked and everyone is laughing.

Kidd was brought in to win a chip, Harris was brought in to help Nets back to winning. Which one seems more likely?????
 
the bar may be high for Kidd, but i think he's up for it

ummmmm if the playoffs from last year show anything the Mavs are done. Also The Lakers Hornets Spurs Nuggets are better. It's funny Kidd has to deal with Chauncey in the west now

I meant that Harris wasn't going to give the Mavs a championship.

Not really. No one expected Harris to play as well as he has. He was brought in to possibly become the Nets future point guard.

Kidd salary $21mm
Harris salary $7mm

Which player do you need to bring you home the championship and which player affords you the luxury of adding additional players that can help you win a championship?

Like I said, no one expected Harris to play the way he has. He's cheap, and much more effective now. Devin has freedom in NJ, something that would've never happened in Dallas. Chances are that if he didn't get traded for Kidd, he would have been dealt for someone else, eventually. He's a definite steal.

you do know they will have to win against the Lakers, Hornets, Spurs, Nuggets right and then if they make it to the finals the Celtics which I don't see them doing at all
 
As big a Kidd fan as I am, I have think Dallas misses Harris. With Harris this team is top 5, possibly even challenging the Lakers. Would Avery be gone? That's my biggest concern if Harris had stayed. With the way Terry is playing and combine that with Dirk, taking the leash off Devin, that's 4 prime time scorers. Right now the Mavs are starting Kidd-JHo-George, Dirk and Damp. 3 players with NO offensive game. Thus the slow starts in the last 2 games. 1st quarter they've been outscored 60-36. You throw Harris in there, that's a 3rd scorer and creates more balance. Then JET off the bench as the 6th man, defenses would go bonkers trying to stop the Mavs, with Harris, Jet, JHo and Dirk. The Mavs would be a 60 win team with Harris unshackled. They were headed there early last season until his ankle injury. They miss him and better regret doing the deal.
