im sure kidd will do extremely well, but it was all about the money then not taking back nash, and though the press quotes say kidd is not prmosied an extension, thats a bit hard to believe.

i would still have liked to see nash stay before.

Looks like your mind has completely changed as now all the arguments you had for moving Steve Nash away didn\'t prevent you to get Kidd.<br><br> I\’ve always had this blog in mind, when hearing the rumours about the Kidd-trade and now that you really landed Kidd, I read it over again.

Especially because it was announced just a few hours after free agency started. This is definatly a hard loss for the Mavericks, not just for the team, but for the relationships(like you were talking about). It will be interesting though to hear your input on what more has happened since I never seem to trust the news or ESPN when it comes to the Mavericks. Just keep us updated! :) well I think I can speak for many people when I say that I was shocked when i heard that Nash had signed with Phoenix.

I realize that the tension between you and the agent made things difficult, but that is a necessary evil of the game at the pro level. Nash made the Mavs what they are with his incredible play and ball distribution. The second mistake made was signing Marquis Daniels to a six year deal. He had a great rookie campaign, and no one expected him to. I think that he seemed so good because no one expected him to be dangerous. Now, people will be gunning for him, and with his selfish style of play, I don't think he will respond well. Nash is indispensible, and I wish he would come back to Dallas. It's going to be hard to see Nash torch Daniels or some rookie PG four times next season. I have very little faith in the PG play of the Mavericks next year. Daniels seems like a "me first" guy, and the rookie is just a rookie. I hope it works out well. Mark, I really appreciate getting your side of the story, but I think the move was a bad one.

I can't really fault either party in this situation - Steve went for the dollars (and was able to return to an area of the country he obviously loves) and the Mavericks made what was most likely the soundest long-term business decision. That said, I feel confident that the Mavericks aren't done yet. As a day one season ticket holder, I'm willing to give them a while to reassess and take further action. If we roll into October with the current roster, though, I won't be a happy camper. This was a tough one.

The mavs need another pg (troy hudson, derek fisher, carlos arroyo--too expensive and no money to spend other than the lle. any sign-in-trade deal will most likely limit the mavs options at getting a decent center). All I can say is, if this team is in rebuilding mode, why not truly rebuild. Finley's contract is one of the worst contracts in the league. Find a way to move his contract, because it limits offseason flexibility. Nash was vertainly more valuable to this organization than Finley. If the concern is paying players too much at a certain age, shouldn't Finley's contract be moved? The injuries have piled up over the last couple of seasons, and Fin vanishes in the playoffs. I will have faith in Cuban, but it is extremely difficult to see HOW the mavs will be competitive with this current roster. Losing Jamison and Nash, when it should have been Walker, Finley, and someone else (you pick; there are plenty of bench guys to choose from). I am worried about next season.
