It sounds like Dirk couldn't be happier about his new teammate.
Nowitzki attended the news conference and smiled when Mavs owner Mark Cuban said he had been kept abreast of the trade and had approved it. Following practice, Nowitzki answered honestly what he believed the team was missing and why Kidd will bring it.
"With me playing with [Steve] Nash for so many years, some of the passes you just took for granted," Nowitzki said. "Over the last couple of years those looks just weren't there. This is going to be great to catch the ball when you're open in the right situation. [Kidd's] one of the best at doing that."
No time for me to do a real post today...
