RedBaron Career suicide. This is the biggest agent gaffe since Bill Duffy forgot to accept Anthony Carter's $4 million option with the Heat.

Ben Q. Rock Duffy repaid Carter the $4 million out of his own pocket, so he atoned for it. We'll soon see if Georgepulls his head out of his behindcomes to his senses and okays this deal.

Devean George: 'I'll Be the Bad Guy'
FanHouse —
Filed under: Nets, Mavericks, NBA Rumors, NBA Videos
Here's Devean George in his post-game interview after tonight's easy win over the Blazers, saying he's basically cool with being the "bad guy" in killing the Kidd trade. That's great. So not only is he killing Dallas off the court by blocking the team's (questionable) attempt to improve via trade, but his distracted ass kills them on the court too by going 0-11 from the field in 33 minutes of play? He better hope that that the team talks him into changing his mind, because after ...

... attempt to improve via trade, but his distracted ass kills them on the court too by going 0-11 from the field in 33 minutes of play? He better hope that that the team talks him into changing his mind, because after begging for playing time, contributing nothing and blocking the Kidd trade, he may very well find himself deactivated for the rest of the season if this deal doesn't go through.

First Cup: Jason Kidd Thursday
ESPN.com - TrueHoop —
Jeff Caplan of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Two weeks ago, [Devean] George complained about his lack of playing time and said he'd prefer to be traded if he was not going to be a part of Johnson's rotation. Since then, George has logged about 20 minutes a game and produced while Stackhouse has been out with a hamstring injury. He played 33 minutes against Portland and was praised by Johnson as being a true professional. 'Two weeks ago, he was open to it [a trade],' the league source said. 'Now, for whatever reason, he's not. The chance to showcase himself is all there for him in New Jersey. I think he just needs time to digest ...
Kidd-Trade: Devean George hat ihn vermasselt
NBA-Blog —
Ja, wir erleben gerade eine aufregende Zeit in der NBA. Und wir sind nun wieder mal sehr knapp an einem blockbuster trade vorbeigerauscht. Nur ein Ja! hat gefehlt. Devean George hätte einwilligen müssen, zusammen mit Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSegana Diop, Maurice Ager und first round picks 2008 und 2010 sowie Cash gegen Jason Kidd und Malik Allen von den New Jersey Nets getradet werden. Statt dessen gab es das Nein! von George, wozu dieser dank eines Vertragsdetails berechtigt ist. Dieser gescheiterte Deal fährt Mark Cuban und Avery Johnson doppelt in die ...
Devean George Forgets He's Devean George
FanIQ Blog —
... Dude, you're Devean George. Appropriately, the Mavs back up forward went 0-11 last night, yet in the interview (thanks to Odenized) above he talks like a guy who deserves much more. He speaks of his "tiny contract," which is $2.8 million this season; plenty of money for someone averaging 3.6 point per game. ...
Devean George Forgets He's Devean George
FanIQ Blog —
Jason Kidd may end up a Dallas Maverick before the trade deadline, but as of now, he's still a New Jersey Net because a back up forward averaging 3.6 points per game used a clause in his contract to block the trade.
Devean George, who earlier in the year stated his desire to get more playing time even if it meant suiting up with a worse team, was given that opportunity yesterday. A move to the Nets gives George (who deserves to have an "i" thrown into his name) a chance at that playing time he's requested to assist in conning some poor GM into a bigger contract. ...

Here is a YouTube video from George’s post-game interview, explaining what he’s doing and why.

Mavs Moneyball —
Unfortunately, I don't have time this morning to do a full blown links post (especially with the amount of stuff out there). I'm not sure what to make of everything right now, but I started writing a post about the trade late yesterday afternoon and I anticipate that I will still get the chance to post it eventually. If Dallas wants Kidd (and they clearly do) they'll find a way to make it work. And of course George could still change his mind. Plus there is the whole issue of Avery trying to tell his team they are good enough to win a Championship when he already agreed to trade 5 of them in a deal that sent the exact opposite ...
Devean George SPEAKS
SportSayers.com —
I have been a Lakers’ fan for a very long time now, and I even like Devean George, but I don’t think I actually ever heard him speak. Until now that is. As we updated you earlier, the Kidd to Dallas trade was 99.99% complete until George put a block on it at the very last second. Personally I know he probably looks like a savior to many Mav fans that didn’t want Kidd and supposedly people like that kid Harris.
Anyways he followed up that great one man stop routine, with the worst shooting night in the NBA this season. He went 0-11 from the field. I always wonderered why they say ...
NBA Wrap: Ginobili’s Big night, Devean George holds up Kidd trade… and then plays horrible, Stan Van Gundy’s pep talk must have worked
Hail Mary Jane —
Spurs 112 - Cavs 105
Ok so you may want to send a message to Casino owners in Las Vegas. Manu Ginobili is planning on going there over the All Star weekend this weekend and he is on some kind of hot streak.
In their first return back to Cleveland since winning the NBA title there last year, the Spurs were lead by Ginobili’s 46 to a 112-105 victory over the Cavs. He had a particularly dominant fourth quarter. He had 18 points on 5/5 FG’s, 4/4 3 point FG’s, and 4/4 FT’s. Owned.
Heres some highlights: ...

Devean George Explains Himself
Hoffman's blog listings. —
NBA star Jason Kidd appeared headed to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday —
until Devean George's contract got in the way. George was supposed to be among the players headed to the New Jersey Nets in the
megatrade, but he blocked it by not wanting to give up his "early Bird rights,"
a provision earned by being in his second year and on his second contract with
the Mavericks. My first reaction upon hearing George had blocked the Kidd trade was - who does he think he is? George is averaging 3.6 ppg and shooting 37% for the season. The Mavericks ...

I bet it sucks to be interviewed by the local media after turning down a trade involving a superstar like Jason Kidd and then going 0-11 in the following game.

The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL. —
Maybe Devean George just really doesn’t want to go to New Jersey. It is cold this time of year, but come on dude: Don’t be a dick.
The best part about this video is how much George’s “It is what it is” would have confused the assorted luminaries of the House oversight committee yesterday. As Lynn Westmoreland would say, that depends what “is” “is”. Moron.

We tried to make this work. We've found out it doesn't. It's time for us all to move on."Nets President Rod Thorn says they ...
