Mark Cuban is not afraid to talk about the blockbuster trade that wasn't … [Donnie Nelson, Avery Johnson and I] went back and forth about whether or not we should trade Devin [Harris]. We knew he was a good point guard, with the potential to be amazing. What we didn't know was how long that [...]

Filed under: Nets , Mavericks , Dallas , New York Just in case there was any question as to how Avery Johnson felt about the February trade which sent Devin Harris and draft picks to New Jersey for Jason Kidd , here are some quotes from the Le Petit General's closing statements to the Dallas media. [Harris] was going to be an 18-and-8 player. I invested a significant amount of...

... Keith Grant, and everybody in that organization ... it would be an injustice to Jason Kidd, my son Devin Harris -- who is like a son to me -- I don't want to drag their names through any mudslinging. Whatever happened, it happened, and now we just all have to move forward. That's very civil, and it's not saying much. But it's not how you talk if you liked the trade. Later, when asked...

... quite the same, since Howard stressed continued (if declined) use, and implicated others. But, as Devin Harris said on the sidelines, this is just Howard speaking his mind; he just does not give a fuck about bullshit delicacies and inference because he "knows they're not true.". Like Henry said, it's only a shock if we pretend we didn't know, and reward those who play along on what...

• NEW ORLEANS – Don't blame the trade for the Mavericks' current predicament. Don't delude yourself into thinking all would be fine if this team still had Devin Harris and DeSagana Diop. Other issues have come to light over the last two months. Still, as the Mavericks try to deal with the onslaught that is Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets, it's fair to ask what we should expect...

... don't know how to play team basketball. Those people are idiots. My posse hates people like that. Devin Harris/Shawn Marion Remember me? I used to play in the Western Conference, where men are men and the teams are good. Then I was traded East, asked to play on a terrible team that didn't make the Playoffs. Now my old team is in the postseason, and they sure do miss me. But screw...

The Dallas Mavericks are on their way to losing in the first round, again. They have clearly fallen since their finals appearance 2 or 3 years ago. Chris Paul is single handedly torching them. Still not sure why any one would actively go an get Jason Kidd. We sent Devin Harris a young super quick, [...]

... since he's become a head coach. The Mavericks lost their fastest perimeter player when they sent Devin Harris to New Jersey. Don't get me wrong. Unlike others, I'm not here to argue that was a bad deal. But once Harris' speed was removed from the equation, the Mavericks were left with precious little of that commodity on the perimeter. Jason Kidd, Jerry Stackhouse, Eddie Jones...

... from an 0-2 deficit to beat Houston in his first postseason series as a head coach. He inserted Devin Harris into the starting lineup against San Antonio the next season, a move that tilted that series in favor of the Mavericks and helped propel the team into the Finals for the first time in franchise history. Now, he's a coach with a 2-9 record in his last 11 playoff games. He's...

... if the nucleus remains the same and would be “comfortable” if Carter, Richard Jefferson , Devin Harris and Krstic are back next season. Thorn has to say that because he knows anything is possible. He and Vandeweghe are going to try and make moves, some of them involving core players, but what if someone doesn’t want Jefferson or Carter? Then they’re back and the Nets and Frank have...

... for LT money, which is good because that would be like Tony Parker asking for Kobe money or Devin Harris asking for Dirk money. Rosenhaus did say they were offered a contract but it wasn’t "Michael Turner money." He also said they weren’t worried about it because Dallas usually gets their players signed. He ended his comments by saying MB3 was a "Pro Bowl" player and...

... to lead the Mavericks to an extended playoff run. They gave up a quality young point guard in Devin Harris and a sizeable chunk of the franchise's future to get Kidd. Now is the time to deliver the goods. At least, that's the perception. Kidd's response? "If it's on me, I enjoy that," he said in that soft-spoken but direct way he has about him. "I enjoy the competition. It's fun....

... interviews with the media. They were the three key players - Vince Carter , Richard Jefferson and Devin Harris – and the three free agents – Bostjan Nachbar , DeSagana Diop and Nenad Krstic . To sum up: everyone wants to be back and everyone thinks if this team had a full training camp and season together the outcome would have been different. They would be in the postseason. Diop...

... Diop, who came to the Nets in the Feb. 19 trade that sent Jason Kidd to Dallas and brought Devin Harris to New Jersey, also said that he wants to return. "I know that they're going to make this team better," he said. Diop averaged just 2.5 points in 27 games with the Nets. Another of the Nets weighing his options is Vince Carter, who played most of the season on a severely sprained...

... a consistent post move, a short jumper, improve his free throw shooting and play on defense. Devin Harris (B-): It’s hard to judge him on 25 games, but he has shown he can score and get in the lane. It’s also had to grade Harris because of whom he replaced. Harris hasn’t shown he’s the competitor or defensive player Kidd was, nor has he made his teammates better yet....
