... which could enable him to re-sign with Dallas if he waits 30 days, and ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reports that the Nets and the Mavs are likewise poised to complete a separate trade that will send swingman Antoine Wright to Dallas for a future second-round pick That seems like a lot for Kidd and could really cut into Dallas' depth on the bench.

Devean George, You are Delusional

... Devean George will not be getting offers in excess of $6 million a year. The middle of the free agent pack is light this year; I'd expect very few teams to dole out midlevels fast and easy (especially considering the big FA classes of 2009 and 2010). As the Dallas Morning News' Eddie Sefko mentions, this whole debacle could hurt George's earning power in the long run. With his Bird rights intact, that helps only in a) getting an unrestricted offer from Dallas, or b) working out a sign-and-trade with Dallas. Something tells me ...

Also factor in the fact that Dallas was undermanned, and the Suns emerged victorious, 109-97, at US Airways Center. Despite Phoenix’s hot shooting, the first half was very ...

He did get 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal, which was all of good ...
