You Wouldn't Agree to a Trade to New Jersey, Either.
It's silly that Devean George, who averages 3.6 ppg, has a no-trade clause. But don't blame him....blame the system.
And furthermore.......you sure as hell wouldn't accept a trade to North Jersey, either.
BLOCKED !!!!
This one deserves an "OH SNAP!!!"
JKidd has just been picked and blocked by a "B Team" forward. Things just hit the fan. Devean George has control of his contract and he can veto the trade if he does not like how it will turn out. So as of right now Jason Kidd is not going anywhere.

According to ESPN, Devean George will exercise his rare no-trade clause to block a proposed blockbuster trade that would have sent Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks. We chronicled the trade and its fantasy impact on FBP earlier today , but apparently it is NOT going to go through.

Stoudemire and Barbosa scored 26 points each while Steve Nash added 24 points and 13 rebounds as the Suns beat the Mavs, 109-97, in the final game before the All-Star break last night.
The Suns' gritty performance and good shooting (41-for-72 on FG), especially in the 4th quarter, was the difference as the Mavs were outscored 32-24 in the final period.

Who Can Kidd At A Time Like This?
Maybe the Mavs are just trying to keep up with the Joneses (Lakers & Suns) by making a move — any move — for a big name to join them in the arms race out West. Not that Kidd isn't great — he most definitely is — but the apparent imbalance makes it believable that panic caused Mavs owner Mark Cuban to keep nodding his head as the Nets kept piling on the demand request (dessert) tray.
