I would love to see the look on Stackhouse's face if he finds this out to be true.

Oh man!

P.S. I hinted at it earlier today, but tonight is going to make Paulie mad. Mavs/Celtics.

For once, I'm pulling for the Mavs so that he understands how weak the East is in comparison to the West. The Celtics are playing lackluster teams, thus their win record.

Even the Mavs can stomp these fools.

I hear Bass, Stack, and Harris, in a three way with Seattle. I would hate to give up Harris though.

Reason being: Within 24 hours of Kidd saying that it's time for him and the New Jersey Nets "all to move on" in separate directions, New Jersey and Dallas engaged in advanced trade discussions with Portland on a three-way deal that would land Kidd back with the team that drafted him in 1994.

Such a trade would involve at least a dozen players, cash sweeteners and future draft picks. In a breakdown of the most noteworthy principles, Portland would land Mavericks guard Devin Harris and possibly Mavs forward Brandon Bass, New Jersey would receive draft and financial considerations, Dallas' Jerry Stackhouse and a trio of young prospects from Portland (Travis Outlaw, Channing Frye and Jarrett Jack) while the Mavericks would score Kidd.

Mavericks beat us last time, too. Still don't see this Phoenix squad with rings, now do I?

If you went back in time and got a slimmer, trimmer Sir Charles and put Stoudamire to the side, you STILL couldn't raise up with a forklift to win some rings.

I'd even donate vintage Vinny Del Negro and current JJ Barea to your cause to help you out.

Awww damn, it won't be an even fight since KG is hurt. Ray Allen might even be out sick still yeah? Regardless, I assure you that this won't be a runaway game for either team. I predict Boston is gonna take this one, but its gonna be close.

PS- Dallas would be stupid to give up Bass OR Harris. Both would be just plain silly, especially if all you get is Kidd in return.

It was just fun to toss out there. I was talking to Jonny earlier today and we discussed the non-reality of this as well.

I adore the man and his ability to perserve. I'm more interested in seeing the look on his face to realize that Johnson and Cuban would/could do something to one of the mainstays for the team after his past year's contributions. That would be a HUGE slap in the face.

Seriously, Drex, what separates them this year from the previous three years of fail? The fact that most of the East is full of fail. I think you named some of those reasons next. . .

May be true, but if Dallas brings it, they should have it on lock all 4 quarters.

Links, please.

If this is the truth, even more reason for me to root for the Mavs for once.
