nets/mavs deal to be done before deadline.
Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George, Desagana Diop, Devin Harris and cash as well as future draft considerations will go to the Nets and Jason Kidd along with Darrell Armstrong will go back for their second stint with the mavs.
this leads people to believe (aswell as the west getting bigger)...
curry to the mavs?
with their weakness in the front court it is possible. cuban is a risk taker as he has been with Diop, Juwan, Dampier, Terry, Johnson etc so this is plausible but the only problem is theyd have to give up a package OR Jason Terry. If Jason Terry comes then im all for it.
Ridnour to the knicks?
Isiah wants Luke in NY, as well as Wally and its very possible that both come here in a package deal before deadline. the only problem being isiah would rather not party with any of his guards. remember hes in love with Crawford ughhh. i personally dont see the fascination with Ridnour and would definitely rather have Watson. but id do a Ridnour/Wally/Petro for Curry, Crawford and Collins trade all day.
Marbury on the block.
not a question that he is. but who will take him? someone looking for cap relief. so unless we take horrible contracts which i dont think dolan will allow the only possible trade is for bibby.. same length in contract so i could careless BUT wed prolly have to take kenny thomas as well. if isiah was smart hed suck it up and form a bond with marbury again let him play here until his contract runs out and let us see a NY connection with Artest and Marbs next year. speaking of which
Artest to the Nuggets?
The nuggets are iffy on taking Nene so its more likely Najera would come. they also want Kleiza since Najera expires next season but its more plausible if a draft pick comes instead. a Camby, Nene, Anthony, Artest, Iverson lineup is actually pretty scary. its a rental though as Artest will DEFINITELY test free agency.
