Mark Cuban claims that a deal for Jason Kidd doesn’t make sense:

With the NBA trade deadline just over a week away, don’t expect the Mavericks to make a play for New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd.

With a courtside seat Sunday night in New Jersey, Dallas owner Mark Cuban tried to silence talk of a Jason Kidd trade to the Mavericks.

At least that’s what Dallas owner Mark Cuban is saying prior to the Feb. 21 trade deadline.

The billionaire owner told several New York-area media outlets that a deal for Kidd would severely hamper his team’s hopes of winning an NBA title.

“For us to make the numbers work in a deal like that, we’d have to trade away half the team,” Cuban told The New York Daily News. “We’re not doing that, so it just doesn’t work. And, we like our team. We’ve got a lot of room for improvement and we hope to get better. But right now, I just don’t see anything happening.”

Until that deadline passes, anything can happen. And more 20-piecings to teams like the Nets like they experienced on Sunday will no doubt bring them closer to making a move…
