The Nets have agreed to trade Jason Kidd and Malik Allen to the Mavericks for Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, Devean George, DeSagana Diop, Maurice Ager, two first-round picks and cash, sources tell Tony Mejia of CBSSports.com.

The deal is expected to be finalized Wednesday

If this turns out to be legit the Mavs gave up a lot but Kidd, Dirk and Howard will be a sick trio.

People are moving around arent they? Wish we could pull off some kind of miracle for our team. Lets start with a Fine Ham Biscuit.....

My brother is a big Nets fan and when he heard the news he was pissed. In my opinion, the Nets got the better end of this deal. The Mavs gave up A LOT.

The Nets got an AWESOME deal for Kidd.  The guy was asking for a trade and they got Devin Harris and Diop plus 2 1sts?  Stack's a great 6th man if he's healthy, but regardless he and George (as well as Diop) are expirings.

If I were your brother I'd be partying.

I'm also reading the Nets sent Wright to Dallas for a 2nd...don't think THAT was very good. but that was probably just trying to balance the trade a little bit back towards Dallas as IMO it's heavy to NJ.

Mavs rolled the dice. They gave up insisting on Harris, and the deal immediately happened. After this trade, Mavs will have absolutely a sick line-up in Kidd-Terry-Howard-Nowitzki-Dampier. But what about the bench? They've send a starter and two solid back-ups. Cuban will definitely stay busy to upgrade Mavs bench as good as possible.

Harris might be good in near future, but definitely not will be a Kidd. This deal proves what a negotiator Rod Thorn is (remember Vince Carter deal). He insisted on Harris and got him.

Talk about mortgaging your future to win right now. The west is going crazy trying to keep up with the joneses. "They got who? We better make a move quick!" Kidd is a nice player, I don't think Harris was going to every get to be near the player he is so for right now I guess 3 years of Kidd, until he gets unhappy or retires, is better. Cuban will have to fill up the rest of his roster.

wow, crazy. I think both sides got what they wanted from this. The Nets have been worried lately with the decline of their big 3, it seems, and didn't have a direction player-wise.

Now it's being reported that the trade has been blocked lol.

With the New Jersey Nets poised to complete a blockbuster deal to send Jason Kidd back to Dallas on Wednesday night, Mavericks reserve forward Devean George has unexpectedly exercised his right to block the trade, according to NBA front-office sources. Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that the teams verbally agreed to the deal earlier Wednesday and were preparing to submit the trade for league approval when George informed the Mavericks that he wouldn't consent to being included in the deal, which is his right based on a rare provision in his one-year contract.

Ouch!!!

The Mavs could trade Eddie Jones instead...that might work alone or they could add yet another bench player.

George says he has it good as he's starting now with the Mavs...wonder how long that'll last?

This is probably a surprise to both teams. You're probably right Spectre, in that the Nets will agree to taking someone else instead of George, but damn, what kind of reputation is that going to leave you with if you're the ONE guy that stops the Mavericks from getting the PG they so desperately want. You think the fans won't turn on you for that? (No doubt the organization will hold a grudge.)
