Harris is indeed a stud and it was stupid for the Mavericks to trade him, but I must confess that I am life long Nets fan. I think Dallas will be OK when they get Josh back. They have three people on their roster who are capable of giving you 25 points any given night and they have some very good role players. I just think they need one more player. If the Knicks buy Stephon out, he will be available for next to nothing. Remember the year before they lost to the Hornets, they got knocked out in the first round by the eighth seed Warriors and Harris was starting then. There is hope for Dallas.

I knew this was going to happen as well, and I thinks it’s awesom. All the know it alls like Charles Barkley(I’m a Barkley fan by the way) were saying how much tougher Jason Kidd would make the Mavs. Well, toughness doesn’t put the ball through the hoop and toughness doesn’t have anything to do with being able to run a halfcourt offense. Gah. What an awful trade and the fact that Mark Cuban made the move makes it even sweeter.

Great blog. Was there any doubt this was a bad trade when it happened? Not in my mind, although like you I didn’t expected Harris to be THIS GOOD. The only trade I thought last year the Mavs should’ve been trying to make was for a big man like Gasol, as I just didn’t see the upgrade of Kidd over Harris, and especially long term.
