No more Hope-ing: Jason Kidd’s back in a Mavs uni as of seconds ago.
Ready or not, Jason Kidd is a Dallas Maverick. After a week of machinations and maneuvers that took the deal from imminent to insane, the NBA just minutes ago finally stamped its approval. I’ll have more later, but the deal as it ultimately wound up:
Mavericks get: Jason Kidd and Malik Allen.
Nets get: Devin Harris, Maurice Ager, DeSagna Diop, Trenton Hassell, Keith Van Horn, first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010 and $3 million in cash.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Because of salary-cap implications I’m not prepared to waste your afternoon with, the Kidd trade is technically even bigger than expected. Originally planned as a separate deal, the Kidd trade officially includes Dallas aquiring Antoine Wright for a $1.6 million free-agent exception. –Richie Whitt
