Congratulations, Stan. Wish it could have come in a better season, but you’re still the second winningest coach in UT history, and that’s nothing to sneeze at. Here’s to 10 more years.
“For us to make the numbers work in a deal like that, we’d have to trade away half the team,” Cuban told The New York Daily News. “We’re not doing that, so it just doesn’t work. And, we like our team. We’ve got a lot of room for improvement and we hope to get better. But right now, I just don’t see anything happening.”
Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks and Nets on Wednesday reached an agreement in principle on a Kidd deal after talks had seemingly stalled last week, moving the teams to brink of completing the NBA’s third blockbuster deal of the month.
Although sources say that the teams are still sorting out final details, this deal was described as “imminent” by multiple sources close to the process after negotiations moved to an advanced stage Tuesday night. The proposed swap — salvaged from talks on a three-way trade with Portland that developed and fizzled quickly two weeks ago — would require Dallas to send 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse, the expiring contracts of center DeSagana Diop and swingman Devean George and guard Maurice Ager to New Jersey for Kidd and forward Malik Allen.
Damn you.
UPDATE: AW HELL NAW
Another Ice Skate to the Throat?
The Buffalo Area Medical Team is here to help. There’s no freakish, nearly-tragic sports injury they haven’t seen, and you can rest assured that you’re being watched by the best doctors in the known and unknown universes. Also, the medical staff is apparently entirely female, which is pretty cool I suppose.
In all seriousness, I wish all the best for Richard Zednik, and if the other two links up there are any indication, he really is in the best care. Really weird that those all happened in Buffalo. I’m pretty certain I don’t want to live there, but if I get a sprained ankle, you best airlift me.
Coming up this Sunday during the pregame show of the Rockets/Falcons game, I’ll be talking to Matt Sussman of the Futon Report about the state of MAC Basketball this season, and a little about how Toledo and BG match up. In all actuality, we recorded it today, but seeing as Suss will be out of the freaking country, I think you’ll understand.
It’s a 4pm tipoff, scoreboard show starts at 3pm, the chat will run around 3:10-3:15.
Rights reserved in case, you know, someone actually wanted to steal this garbage.
