Well in the latest Jason Kidd trade talks he has been traded...on an agreement the Dallas Mavericks and New Jersey Nets agreed on a trade Wednesday. Earlier Wednesday, NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com that the teams had verbally agreed on a seven-player deal in which Dallas would send 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse, center DeSagana Diop, guard Maurice Ager and Devean George -- along with a league-maximum cash inducement of $3 million and two future first-round picks -- to the Nets for Kidd and forward Malik Allen.
But there is one problem Devean George refuses to sign off on the trade because he has early bird free agency rights that will be waived if he is traded. Somewhat similar to having a no trade clause(which Kobe Bryant is the only player to have). league rules dictate that players on a one-year contract -- but who spent the previous season with the same team and are thus eligible for Early Bird free-agent rights at the end of the contract -- cannot be traded without their consent.
I doubt he won’t sign for the trade to go through I mean who wants to stay in a place that they are not wanted and I am pretty sure people in the Dallas Mavericks organization would be pretty pissed if he didn’t sign. I think the Mavericks are crazy for giving up that much for Kidd he is a great player but um don’t you think he is beginning or going to begin to roll down that hill.
