The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Jason Kidd and Malik Allen from the New Jersey Nets for Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop, Devean George, Maurice Ager, $3 million bucks and first round picks in both 2008 + 2010. The 34-year old Jason Kidd is still one of the best point guards in the NBA and he should fit right in on the Mavericks. Kidd played in 51 games (all starts) this season for the Nets and he averaged 37.2 minutes, 11.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 1.5 steals per game. Kidd hasn’t shot too well this season however as he’s only hit 36.6% of his shots from the floor, 35.6% from 3-point range and 82% from the free throw line. Kidd has now played in 997 games (984 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 37.4 minutes, 14.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game. Forward Malik Allen played in 48 games (12 starts) this season for the Nets and he averaged 15.9 minutes, 5.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Allen has now played in 335 games (115 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 17.1 minutes, 5.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists.

The Mavericks didn’t want to trade Devin Harris but the Nets demanded him to be the centerpiece of this trade. Harris played in 39 games (all starts) this season for the Mavericks and he averaged 30.4 minutes, 14.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Jerry Stackhouse will likely get bought out by the Nets and he will be elgible to return to the Mavs in 30 days. He played in 39 games (2 starts) this season for the Mavericks and he averaged 24.0 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. DeSagana Diop might be missed a little bit by the Mavericks as he provided muscle and defense for them. Diop played in 50 games (18 starts) this season for the Mavs and he averaged 17.4 minutes, 3.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game. Devean George played in 26 games (1 start) this season for the
