Rumor: Kidd to re-sign with Mavs (Stein says he's going to Knicks)

[Fafnir]

poor Dirk they might as well trade him

I'd be shocked if he doesn't demand a trade at this point.

I think he and Kobe have a no-trade clause 

No trade clause means he can't be traded unless he waives it.

Doesn't mean he can't demand a trade if he feels the team is going down the tubes around him.

Wouldn't be surprised if this was his attitude but this is more than the we will let Tyson Chandler walk after the title pill he had to swallow.  This is a straight up demolotion of the team.

[snively]

This offseason has been one giant middle finger to Mavs fans thus far.

True.

But it does mean he can potentially block any trade Dallas wants to make if they are committed to full-on rebuild.

Either way, crazy to see how fast and how far Dallas and Houston have fallen.

and a kick to the groin if Ray leaves, already felt smack across the face with the Nash trade

Yeah I mean its possible that if Charlotte doesn't take MKG and Thomas Robinson isn't availble for the Kings Houston could be working on a Dwight Howard blockbuster right now.

I think they are a bit different.  With Houston there is no sense in being mediocre, might as well tank and try to get a Durant type.

Dallas was pieces away from contending again and they p---ed it all away to try to get Dwight and Deron I guess.  The fans definitely can be angry with that.

according to ESPN, Kidd is going to the Knicks for essentially the exact same contract the Mavs offered, he just thinks the Knicks have a better shot at winning and he wanted to return to that region.

Wonder if Dallas would consider throwing crazy, short term money at Ray Allen? Say, 1 year 10 mil.
