There's a reason those are called Larry Bird rights and not "spare who couldn't get anyone to sign him last summer so who the he-double hockey sticks does he think is going to bust the cap for him in the future" rights.

The GSW loss last year sucked, but until Dirk decides that he's not going to be a big pv$$y out on the floor anymore, the rest of it's just window dressing. I like how we keep fighting the last war.

Average=Jason Kapono/DeShawn Stevenson/Luke Walton. Kidd made the players around him better because they had no qualms taking the ball to the hoop. These Mavs love to settle for the jumper, thats why Devin and to a small extent stack were important because they didnt mind taking the ball inside. If the Mavs can add another athletic wing then that will help their cause. I do know at the moment Rockets and Spurs fans are thrilled. You know why? Devin Harris had his way with both teams, all day every day. Who's gonna guard Tony Parker now? Kidd, JET? HAHA. Kidd can create all the open shots for JET and Dirk but that ain't bringing a title to Dallas. What happens when the shots stop falling. Plus the mavs need to add a dependable big in the 5 spot thats not as injury prone as damp. First off RJ is not an average player. Average=Jason Kapono/DeShawn Stevenson/Luke Walton.

Plus, I don't think the Mavs are done dealing. I hate giving up 2 1st rounders and Harris. Bet Stack comes back. But, Diop blew this year, George asked to be traded and Ager is a failed bit (see ya; thanks for eff'n nothing). Sorry but anyone that thought the Mavs were going to win it all this year with current roster hasn't watched games in past two weeks. It wasn't going to happen folks. AJ likes the trade.

Like Devin. Like Diop. Like Stack. I mean, I love Stack, but he's an injury-riddled ballhog on offense who is shooting under 40 percent. Jason Kidd turned an average player like Richard Jefferson into an all star. He will make this team so much better, it's not even funny. Watch, for example, what he'll do with an athletic hustle guy like Brandon Bass, not to mention the open shots he'll create for Terry and Dirk.
