George blocks the trade then goes 0/11 from the field...
Im going to start calling him the "Mavs Killer".
[QUOTE=meh]What's the most he can sign for though? The minimum, pro-rated for 1/3 of the season, is not that much even if it is on top of his old contract.
The fact that Dallas "won't give him a great contract" has no bearing on his decision. His choices are
1. Go along with the trade. Make mediocre(for an NBA player) money next year and have to move to a different city for the next few months.
2. Refuse the trade. Make mediocre(for an NBA player) money next year... but with the potential, however slight, of earning more. And also doesn't have to leave his home.
Why would he NOT pick option #2?[/QUOTE]
everyones gonna hate him for being so selfish its not about him its about the mavericks and sleeping on this trade would be retarted
u gotta look at the interview if u havent already...he says "i gotta think abou t my self first"

Actually I believe he is opting for option #3.
3.Allowing the trade to go through after forcing the Nets or Dallas to give some kind of deal in the future.
But what I am confused about is why hasn't Cuban taken care of this already like I said in my earlier post.
Why don't the Mavs just tell him: "Screw your Bird rights, if you block the trade WE WON'T RE-SIGN YOU AND WILL BENCH YOU RENDERING THE POINT MOOT."

Probably. But that's contingent on him choosing to block the trade first.

I'm guessing the people involved forgot all about this clause.

I know he says that. But why is he wrong? I don't know why he would show more loyalty to a team who were just about to trade him, rather than to himself.

Probably because they'll then piss off every potential role-player FA in the future. Who'd want to sign with an organization so venomous to its players?
[QUOTE=eliteballer]Why don't the Mavs just tell him: "Screw your Bird rights, if you block the trade WE WON'T RE-SIGN YOU AND WILL BENCH YOU RENDERING THE POINT MOOT."[/QUOTE]
And his agent will come back with: "Secure us some kind of deal and we waive the clause. If you do not want to do it then fine. Say goodbye to Kidd and have fun getting motivation out of all the players you already halfway shoved out the door." Frankly I think he has MUCH more leverage than the Mavs do.
I hope things work out for DG. He's a good guy and one of the only players to be close friends with Kobe who is kind of an introvert.
I don't understand how this wasn't vetted by the Mavs' lawyers before the deal was made public. Someone's getting fired over this.

How often did he do that? You are talking about game[B]s[/B]!
I only can remember 1 game!
What is hilarious about this is that, after this debacle, George somehow believes he will be resigned by the Mavericks or that the Mavericks will help George in with a sign and trade. He just ruined their blockbuster trade, but wants Mavs to help him at year end? Too funny!!!
Just accept the trade. All George has to do is get assurances that Nets will buy him out, and then he can sign with someone else and make more money. That should make him happy.
[QUOTE=alexthegod]when is the last time a filler killed a deal? Wow:eek: This will be amazing if it kills the deal. I can't imagine it would, but I'm its going to force dallas to do something it doesnt want to do.[/QUOTE]
when a punk who demands a trade b/c he's pissey his crappy playing ass isnt getting PT and then when the team makes it so he throws his BS no trade clause that came from an odd quirk in the CBA rules in the teams face.
[QUOTE=Silverbullit]How often did he do that? You are talking about game[B]s[/B]!

Your right, there's only been 1 game, one time in the history of the league a team has ever lost a elimination game against a 8th seed.....DatzNasty, you gotta fix that.
[QUOTE=FPower]
Not that I really blame George. If he doesn't want to get traded, and he's in that rare position that he has the ability to stop it...can't blame him.[/QUOTE]
yea except for the fact that he was demanding through the papers a week or so ago that either the team needed to play him or trade so he could get his value up for a contract next year.
[QUOTE=Qwyjibo]The Mavericks are the dumb ones here. First for giving him a no-trade clause and then seemingly forgetting that he had it and might use it here.
I'd do the same thing. Stay on the better team and have at least the chance for a bigger contract after this one finishes. Just because the Mavs really want Jason Kidd shouldn't mean a thing to George.[/QUOTE]
they did NOT give him a no trade clause. b/c he was on a one year deal last year in Dallas and then signed another one year deal this year the rules of the CBA state that the no trade clause is automatically in place.
the fact remains that George has already said if he isnt in the Mavs plans he wants to be moved.
[QUOTE]
George said before Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons that, if his role remains limited, he would like the chance to play elsewhere in hopes of increasing his stock as an unrestricted free agent after the season.[/QUOTE]

they grant him his wish and he throws the CBA in the teams face.
You CANT defend that.
not only did he just scuttle a major deal b/c of his selfishness, how the hell do you smooth things over with Harris who was about to be shipped out? He jsut destroyed the entire team.
and Datz, STFU with this defending him b/c he would lose his Bird rights and a chance at a bigger pay day. NOBODY would have signed his useless ass for even as much as he is getting this year let alone more b/c his story is always the same. He CANT F-ING shoot well b/c his shot selection flat out sucks and he WILL get hurt and have to miss several games. Any good he does on D is ruined by his offense being so god awful. All he ever does is jack up deep jumpers (usually just inside the 3point line) that rarely go in which cause easy fast break opportunities for other teams that the Mavs either give up easy buckets on or have to burn a foul to stop it. He is HORRIBLE. For all your complaining about Dirks performance in the playoffs last year (and dont even lie and say Dirk did not face double and triple teams the whole series) you know what George did with his wide open shots? Shot f-ing [B]20%[/B].
