Like Phoenix acquiring Shaquille O'Neal, this trade feels like panic, this time by the Mavericks, John Hollinger writes.
Those details: Kidd, forward Malik Allen and swingman Antoine Wright go to Dallas for 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, center DeSagana Diop, swingman Trenton Hassell, guard Maurice Ager, Van Horn via sign-and-trade, first-round picks this June and in 2010 and $3 million in cash. The teams originally planned to move Wright to Dallas in a separate transaction but were able to make the salary-cap math work in a single trade after the deal was reconfigured over the weekend.

It actually hindered them by trading away a serviceable big.
There was a rumour that Avery wanted to move Dirk in the off season because of his shit play against the Warriors in the playoffs last year. Management turned him down.
