Jason Kidd wanted to be traded for a while now and nothing has happened. The most interested team in the matter is the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs said once that they could not afford Kidd, so they would have to give up half of their team and they like their team. Then it seamed as if they didn’t like their team when they were going to give it up in a huge trade including Jerry Stackhouse, Devon Harris, and Devon George. This didn’t go through yet, because now George is excercising his right to not be traded. If this trade goes through, the Nets will once again be one of the elite teams in the east, but the Mavs will drop down the list in the west. I say this because the Mavs are giving away three very good players for one elite player. The problem is Kidd wont have many more good players to pass the ball to, while the Nets entire starting line up will be racking up the points, with Jefferson, Carter, Stackhouse, Harris, and George.

The Detroit Lions have said that Shaun Rogers will not be released. This said after reports that Rogers will not be a Lion next season no matter what. The new report is that they will entertain trades for Rogers and Roy Williams, but if they don’t get offered a trade for these guys that they like, then they will still be in a blue uniform next year. The Lions have no desire to release either of their pro-bowl caliber players, probably because they don’t want to take a hit on salary. These guys leaving the team would be good for both parties.
