Rumor Mill: Van Horn to Replace George?
Mavs Moneyball —
... Posted on Thu Feb 14, 2008 at 06:42:46 PM EDT Marc Stein, who first broke news of the trade yesterday, posted an updated story about 20 minutes ago. He says both teams still plan on making this trade work and that it is not at all dead. Yet at least two sources close to the process remained optimistic that the deal will be completed -- either in its original or a substitute form -- before the NBA's annual trading deadline, which falls next Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. Should George not change his mind, the Mavs are reportedly considering using the ghost of Keith Van Horn to make ...

The Key To The Kidd Trade: Keith Van Horn?
MavsCentral.com —
Marc Stein is now reporting that the deal in place yesterday could still be intact, but replace Devean George with Keith Van Horn. The fallback scenario is Dallas agreeing to sign-and-trade Keith Van Horn in George's place, capitalizing on the fact that the Mavericks still hold Van Horn's rights and the fact that Van Horn has not submitted official retirement papers to the league office since he last played in 2005-06. Players who are signed-and-traded are required to receive a three-year contract, but only the first year must be guaranteed. Dallas could thus create an ...

On the other, he nearly destroyed the place in a fight. I’m guessing Zach likes all kinds of food… so liking Greek stuff is nothing special. I’ll just hate him for costing my people money. Jerk.

Kidd-to-Dallas Still Breathing
FanHouse —
Filed under: Nets, Mavericks, NBA Rumors, Dallas, New YorkAs assumed since Devean George got his monkey wrench on, the heart of the Jason Kidd trade still beats (pending all that sure-to-be-whitewashed Jerry Stackhouse stuff). Marc Stein of ESPN (who has owned this story, by the way) quotes Nets exec Rod Thorn about the likelihood of eventual consummation, with or without Devean. "There are a lot of different scenarios that might be feasible," Thorn told reporters Friday.We ...
Who Can Kidd At A Time Like This?

... by Mr. Stackhouse. If Stack went to the Nets, it would be by name only, as they were expected to buy out his contract immediately, and due to a rule implemented by the league 3 years ago, he would have to sit out 30-days before he re-signed with the Mavs. So, in fact, he would not be “part” of the deal, per say. The deal still may be in play, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein . If the Nets can convince George to rescind his trade block by working out some type of deal, the 34-year-old Kidd may end up rejoining the team he was drafted to in ‘94 and subsequently shared Rookie of ...
