  • i think the mavs shouldnt have fired Avery Johnson its not his fault that Tim Duncan in his prime was a monster & that Spurs had a better team overall. Management should have helped him acquire better players by getting bigger to contend.

  • why did he go to dalas he did so good on the nets

  • Harris looks so good in NJ cause the rest of the team sucks.

  • hawkn47 and supporters of devin

    you have to consider that ..the reason devin harris is having a breakout season at new jersey is because his style fits and the team revolves around him. as in dallas the team revolves around dirk and harris is at best the 4th option under dirk howard and terry

    so no i wouldn't redo the trade

    plus..look at the nets' record... and how streaky harris can be at times

    i love harris but i wouldn't take back the trade

  • It's good to see them get a greater calibur player but it is unfortunate to see a definite star on the rise in Devin Harris go and a declining Kidd. It was like a quick fix taking a step foward and two steps back. Least we got Diop back!

  • Im curious how people like this guy say Kidd is declining. Is that an assumption based on his age? The guy had his career year last year before the trade, and in the few months post trade now he's 'declining'? Give me a break.

  • buddy, JKidd is definitely declining. I've been a fan of his since his rookie year and watched him in his prime time in jersey when he took them to the finals.

    JKidd peaked in those Finals years and his decline started in the year the nets lost to detroit in game 7 of the conference finals. He was slower than Billups and played that whole series on a busted knee. After the surgery anyone who watched the Nets loyally clearly noticed that it wasn't the same.

    In the finals years, he was a beast.

  • Buddy, you have no idea what you're talking about. Statistically, visually, he has his CAREER YEAR two years ago, and was on par to beat those averages with his work the first half of last years season. He is also the best 3 pt shooter on the mavs right now. Declining? The guy is in his mid 30's, so no shit he isn't going to be sticking to younger guys (defensively), but he has something far more important abd rare. Basketball IQ, and that is enough for a guy like Kidd to succeed.

  • (part 2) But you don't seem to get that. Otherwise you would cite his defensive SHUT OUT of D Wade the other night, or his 20 assist night (beating Magics all time assist position). You don't acknowledge it because you're biased. Cp3, Deron Williams, these guys have not done half of what Kidd has. When they do, then it's a discussion. Until then, respect the guys career and actually observe the absolute bludgeoning he gives defenders every night.

  • he would have been the final piece of championship puzzle for the mavs in 06.

  • What do you expect? He's like 37 now. Go look at guys like Grant Hill, they can still play.

  • worst trade ever

  • yo hawk u dont know shit about this game i can tell how could u say harris is a good jumpshooter and a good 3 point shooter,u dick u cant compare harris to kidd, kidd is a better 3 point shooter and a better defender, passer and rebounder and is no his fault that the mavs lost u idiot

  • Speaking as a Jason Kidd fan for years. this trade was the dumbest thing he has ever done in a LOOOONG time... Mavs? they need big centers not a point guard.. but now thats too late to say since this happened. What should mavs do? First get a better coach PLZ! avery Johnson was an idiot... Second trade josh howard and jerry stackhouse because both really don contribute much to the team as much as they can... Get a better center for those two then u got a full team.

  • Leave Josh Howard trade Jason Kidd's old sorry ass he didnt contribute a gotdamn thing in the NO series

  • okay first, my suggestions are possibilities that are realistic, I completely agree with you even as a jason kidd fan, he did not contribute much even if he did put up triple doubles, but Jason kidd cant be traded he has like a year or two left with like 20 million dollers to still earn so trading him wont be possible. Also it is better to give jason a chance, he just moved in half a season so we still dont know how good he can get, josh howard? sorry, but overrated, trade his lazy average ass

  • Trade J-Ho and all the defenders stick to Dirk like glue. Think realistically here. Howard was only falling because he did what he was told to do under Avery's system. This coming season the Mavs have a COMPLETELY different look and a fresh 82 games. We'll see what Carlisle can do with our boys.

  • The mavs needed someone that could push the ball up the floor very quick, and that is jason kidd's special, because he is the best at it in the history of the game, which is very fair to say.Avery Johnson had no clue how to use kidd. With his dumb isolation plays that are HORRIBLE. Now, on reguards to you saying trade stack/howard. I WANT JOSH HOWARD TRADED... he shoots you out of way too many damn games. But not stack, he is mentally tough, and contributes late in games and can run the floor.

  • willemims i couldn't have said it any better avery didn't have a clue what to do with Jason. I keep hearing everyone say that rick carslie is one of the best offensive minded coaches in the league and i really belive kidd will have a very good year this year

    GO MAVS!!!

  • Avery Johnson got them to the finals and to a 67 win season.Lets not forget!

  • overall it was a bad trade...last season the mavs won 67 games without kidd...so i dont think the trade was neccessary cuz the mavs were a good team already and in the playoffs every year...they didnt have to make this big trade

  • i no why did they get jason kidd they gave up to much talent and jason kidd has no offense, im so glad the lakers didnt get him haha, andrew bynum is gonna be crazy

  • u suck

  • jason kidd is a bum. that was almost as bad a trade as what phx did 4 shaq

  • Actually I think it was worse. They both are pretty bad though.

  • i dont understand why people keep saying that, obviously the shaq trade questionable. But the Kidd trade was fine by me. I think everyone needs to remember that devin harris will never even come close to what jason kidd is. Whats the point of having a team this great, with mediocre point guard play. You'll never win a championship. But with kidd, i think it puts us where we need to be. BUT, we kind of needed diop. But Brandon bass is a valuable asset when it comes to size.

    IN CONCLUSION!

  • Wrong. Harris has surpassed Kidd this year and Bass is horrible at center. He doesn't even know the word defense. We are screwed not just this year but for years upcoming. Bass is 6'6 and expected to play center? lol This team doesn't have a consistent slasher. In conclusion, one and done.

  • lol okay. if you read my comment i said " we kind of needed diop. but brandon bass is valuable when it comes to size.'' Im not saying hes a back up center, im saying he gives the team more size and power. How do you suppose Harris surpassed kidd ? did he make the allstar team? did he get the nets into the playoffs? i dont think so. Jason came through when dirk was gone, and played well. ( along with josh howard ). If you ask me, your not much of a mavs fan. you gotta BEEEEEEELIIIIEEVE!!

  • I believed before the trade and was expecting the Mavs to turn it on. It's painful to be a mavs fan when the front office decisions are pitiful. We got a stupid coach to. We could always count on points in the paint and shotblocking with Harris and Diop. We no longer can get either. We are fucked. Kidd got surpassed the moment he stopped attacking the rim and his turnovers went up.

  • fair enough, you make some valid points here. especially the 'expecting them to turn it on' thing.

    just remember this is dirks 10th year. times running out so we gotta do waht we can NOW

  • Mavericks are banking on the fact they will win an NBA Championship within 3-5 years...in 5 years Kidd will be 40.

  • The Mavs are so Lucky to Have acquired the most Effective Point Guard of the Game!

  • Kidd is making everyone better on the Mavs I can see that already, but if Dirk gets hurt or Kidd gets hurt the Mavs will never win the finals with this team. That's why this might be a bad trade in the long run

  • @marla07860 well look what happened lol 2011 champs

  • @nbamorreale1 hey I was rooting for them this year hate the Heat lol, but remember mavs are getting older time will catch up and they will start sucking at some point soon. Good for Dirk for getting his ring though.

  • stop hating and being bitter just because j kidd is being traded for dallas.. its still an adjustment phase for any of the teams.. i cant wait what mavs has to show next season.. im a spurs fan but watching mavs against the spurs has always been exhilarating.. avery johnson is such a determined coach..

  • kiddo

  • Yeah bud..the sky's the limit!! Go Jason!! He is sooooooo awesome!! What a team..Dirk, Jason...umph!!! WTG Mavs!!!!!!!

  • phoenix is done. . .what a terrible trade

  • until they actually beat a team with a WINNING record it is a bad trade. Chris Paul made kidd look terrible. the mavs should have beaten chicago, memphis, and minnesota with only 4 players on the court

  • Dont fuckin say anyone will win the championship nobody fuckin knows thats such a stupid statement and anyone who guesses will win is stupid.

  • we will miss you devin but j kidd is unstoppable, and capable of a triple double every game. if he keeps up what he's doing now, the mavs will win the championship

  • didnt the mavs have a kidd like guard what was his name oh yeah Nash and what did the mavs win nothing!!! you get a guard who rebounds but can he defend gasol!? Shaq!? Duncan!? Yao!? anybody know where im going with this!!!

  • Id like to kno how many of you wanabes actully live and always have in Dallas threwout everything even Kidds begining days as a Mav in 94 who??? Am i the only original???

  • Kidd is making everyone better already. 17 assists tonight in a game the mavs players actually looked lethargic. Kidd made plays in a grind out half court game. I'm predicting Championship as well!

  • Jason Kidd's points mainly come from the free throw line, whereas Devin Harris can get anywhere he wants to on the floor (especially slashing to the whole, something not used enough, Dirk should be coming out an setting screens to let Devin blaze it thru the lane), that's the one thing we will miss. Good luck Devin on your new surroundings. Anyways, welcome Jason, I hope you give us 100 assists per game and get us scoring over 100 pts/game again.

  • CHAMPIONSHIP!

  • Fucking traitor we dont need you anyways...

  • werd

  • alright j kidd back

    with the team he was drafted by,

    it not a problem for him,

  • Dallas fans please tell me, does it feel good to take away a franchise player even though you have Nowitski, Howard, Terry, and the rest of your good players. I honestly thought we should have at least gotten Dirk Nowitski or Jason Terry. LETS GO NETS!!!

  • we should have gave em kidd and allen, then have gotten terry and harris and maybe some draft picks

  • u honestly believe that?... in that case ur honestly retarded

  • You seriously think NJ should've got Dirk? You're a fuckin nut. You gus definitely got the better end of the deal. Kidd is a great PG, but we gave The Nets 5 players if you count Van Horn, 2 FIRST ROUND draft picks, AND 3 million dollars. What did we get? 3 players...

  • yea i agree kidd is good but hes geting older and the kidd trade would have never happend if new jersey asked for dirk

  • why would they ask for dirk.

    That would be idiotic.

  • i was just saying if they did then the trade woulda never happend because dirk was not getting traded but i saw someone comment on this page saying that new jersey shoulda got dirk in return but i said thats crazy.

  • they should at least retire his number in new jersey

  • Always lived in Dallas so happy to have Kidd back grew up watchin this guy when he was a youngster rookie in Dallas!!!

  • good luck in dallas. LETS GO NETS!!!

  • oh come on kidd dont talk about the finals yet... dallas needs to get over last years big time choking that was brutal then they gotta deal with the likes of phoenix now with shaq and not to metion san antonio then detroit/ boston if there in the finals this year!!!

  • Did you watch the Phoenix game today? I don't think Dallas has to worry about Shaq lol.

  • well it was just 1 game and it was against a detroit defense team but we will see what happens though from now to the playoffs

  • See Dallas actually helped itself a lot with the Kidd trade in terms of facing Phoenix because now Dallas can run, and Shaq won't be able to get up the floor that quickly so it'll lead to A LOT of 5 on 4's and 4 on 3's

  • i think if shaq keeps on going like he did today then he might not help phoenix out asmuch as shawn marion did.

  • Welcome back Kidd Dallas made a good trade I know Harris is a young player got potential today he is just a good PG in 1 or 2 years I'm sure that he will be all star Dallas wants to go the finals now and Kidd is just the right guy to make this happen Harris did a great job all these years in Dallas and I now that everybody will miss him I also wish luck to you Harris in New Jersey And I hope that someday Harris can wear mavs uniform again
  • kidd is gone wow dats crazy @ least nets got a few good players back!carter n stackhouse better hold it down diop is a extra man n da middle n harris is a fresh kid coming up who will learn alot from jersey look out playoffS!

  • man, cuban is a pussy...

    why'd he give up harris 4 kidd?

    harris still has a lot of potential,

    kidd, great player that he is, will

    have little chance to improve 2 years from now

    cuz by then he'd already be retired,

    damn stupid pussy,

    go nets!!!!!!

  • GO NETS!!!

  • hell yea! WOOT!

  • yeah!!! finally! h=its ok they gave up harris, he cant knock down a jumpshot!!!! kidd can score, pass, and rebound" MR. triple double!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Kidd can score? LMAO at yo retarded ass. Kidd cannot shoot for his life. Devin harris is a killer jumpshooter. fucking great 3pt shooter too. and also can pass. and look where that fucking trade got us. SET BACK. SHOULD'VE STAYED WIT WAT WE HAD. Dude i already know you didnt watch kidd until this trade

  • dude the mavericks had their chance to become a dynasty but they blew it,and their chance its over.they had the chance to win it and were up 2-0 in the 2006 finals and blew it.they came back strong the next year with an amazing 67 win season and they got crushed in the 1st round.and this yr they traded for jason kidd and they got eliminated in the 1st round.Like eminem said "You only get one shot,do not miss your chance to blow,opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

  • yea hawk, emm, i dont even know what to say to you. KIDD IS A BETTER SHOOTER THAN HARRIS. Kidd has a more consistent shooting habit and a better 3 point shooting/ mid-range percentage

  • Dumb ass Bitch didnt you hear what i said 6 months ago, that bitch ass nigga cant shoot fo shit. dumbass hoe, its because of that old bitch we aint gone be able to do what we did 2&3 years ago, shit we back where we was in the 90s and a decade before that

  • As articulate as hawkn is, he's still wrong. You want to pin the mavs failure (thus far) on Kidd? Was Kidd around when they blew round 1 to the last seeded team? NOPE. And for the record, from 3 Kidd shoots a higher percentage than Harris. Career field percentage, Kidd shoots higher. So hawkn, do your homework before you start placing blame. Like for example, getting an actual center might help them out. Statistically and obviously factual.

  • okay okay

    we were all wrong about the trade

    but i do say kidd did what he was broguth here to do

    he passed score an rebounded

  • Oh my fucken God! kidd has a better shooting percentage because he's been in the nba for over 15 years and has taken alot more shots than Devin. and i am goin to ask all of you this, did you all kno devin has been the main scorer since been traded to the nets? And also if we had the chance to redo the trade, how many of you would?

  • Welcome Home Kidd!!!!

  • finally he's on the mavs

  • im the first person to watch this

  • who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • im the 201st person to watch this

  • kill yourself
