Jason Kidd was on his way to Dallas along with Malik Allen and Antoine Wright for Jerry Stackhouse, Devin Harris, Devean george, Desagana Diop, Ager, 2 1st round picks, 1 2nd round pick and cash....until Devean George exercised his veto rights as stipulated on his contract...Will we see Kidd really going to Dallas?
It might. Devean George exercised his right to go against the trade because he's still waiting for agent Mark Bartelstein to hear all the details about the trade. Maybe if the trade will sound right for George then the trade might push through.
It was reported that George have previously informed Dallas about his intent to be traded if his playing time won't increase. But if ever such trade will not push through because of George, then it's not the first time that a lesser named player caused a blockbuster deal to fail. Matt Geiger once refused to be traded on what supposed to be a 4 team deal way back in 2000 between Philadelphia, Detroit, Charlotte (now New Orleans), and the Los Angeles Lakers that should have sent Allen Iverson to the Pistons.
George is now getting the feel of the trade, Dallas fans have called him "selfish" and they want Kidd. The hiatus has caused New Jersey a single game. The Nets didn't field Kidd in in their recent game against the Toronto Raptors thinking that the deal would push through.
Pagchur George oi.
no matter how much the other teams are upgrading their lineups..it doesnt matter. there is still the impt factor of team chemistry. that is why the spurs are not rattled by their competitors and that is why the spurs will still be nba champs by june. bet your balls on that. peace out!
Greg Popovich reacted on the Pau Gasol deal and that shows that he's indeed concerned about the sudden upgrade of the Lakers. The Spurs also added Damon Stoudamire recently.
