The Mavericks are Magic

It has been announced that Stackhouse cannot rejoin the Mavs if included in a deal for Jason Kidd.

The dirty politics of trades like this just sully the integrity of the game. The vanity of Mark Cuban, Jerry Stackhouse, and Jason Kidd, the agents and other enablers is what did them in.

The reaction on the blogs?


Why didn't Stackhouse just keep his mouth shut?

My question is why this trade which was such a flagrant, obvious, in-your-face scam to begin with saluted to begin with? The quality of sports analysis on ESPN, TNT, and the local carriers should be smart enough to figure this nonsense out and yet their prozac-stupor commentaries treat it as another NBA-wet dream.

I mean, every commentator knew the details of how Stackhouse would return to the Mavs - this was no secret - but then Stackhouse had to ruin it all by verifying the obvious. Good Lord.

It's sad. The NBA has breached a threshold where legitimate player exchanges make sense. The number of players whose lives are being disrupted far exceeds any rational basis.

I hope the Mavs do get Kidd. He won't disappoint them but its arithmetic - the Mavs will lose more than they gain.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
