Yesterday afternoon, TrueHoop posted this exchange between a writer for the Sporting News and Mark Cuban about the Jason Kidd-to-Dallas rumors that seem to be everywhere in a post called “Mark Cuban: Dallas Not Shopping for Point Guards”:
Stan McNeal of the Sporting News put together an idea for a Jason Kidd-to-Dallas trade that made sense to him:
To make the salaries match, the Mavs could offer Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop, Juwan Howard and Devean George. The latter three all have expiring contracts, which would clear about about $5 million off the Nets’ books this summer, free them of paying Kidd $21-plus million next season and give them a pair of solid guards in Harris and Stackhouse.
McNeal emailed Mark Cuban for his response, which was priceless:
“Step away from your crack dealer.”

Seems like Cubes might know his way around a crack pipe.

I would trade Stackhouse and Harris for Kidd any day.

Mark know what he talkin about. He got to a chip with Harris and he still young. Kidd about 150 games from falling way off.
