There appears to be just one sticking point left in the trade.

Van Horn, the onetime Net, has to agree to sign (for roughly $4 million) and must pass a physical. He hasn't played since the 2005-06 season.
--------------------

David Moore points out how easy this trade will be to judge.
If the Mavericks win a championship with Kidd, the trade was a good one.

If they don't, it wasn't worth it.
----------------------

Sefko got some quotes from Kidd about what it would be like to play with Dallas.
"It's not going to take long, if it [the trade] happens. I just want to fit in and be one of the pieces of the puzzle. With Dirk and Josh, it's just a matter of them being ready to catch the ball and score."
-------------------

Jan Hubbars think the Mavs front office did a lot of things wrong trying to complete this trade.

--------------------

Gil LeBreton has one of his first Mavs articles of the year and says once word of the trade leaked out there was no turning back.

--------------------

Photo of the day

------------------

David Lord and Mike Fisher calculate that this trade is costing Mark Cuban 27 million dollars. Damn.

My office is closed for President's day so I'm going to be out for most of the afternoon. Use the diaries if there is yet another big development.

This trade...
...seems like it has dragged on for a long time.  All of the snags and hang ups make the organization look pretty stupid and inept.  After all the trouble we went through, if the deal actually and finally happens, Kidd better be worth it.

"Worth it"??
If thats your way of saying we had better win 2 championships over the next two years because we basically eff-ed our chances for rebuilding for anything else after that... than yes, I would agree with that statement.  

At this point anything less, and this deal will go down as one of the worst of this mavericks era... worse than letting go of nash IMO.  Cuz we really dont have a lot of assets that teams are gonna want after these next two years...
