btw, Amare wants a huge contract and we want inside scoring and athleticism.... Stack & Dampier for Amare? Lord knows we've over paid worse players before.
Amare and Dirk... together protecting the paint...
Well, i would be fine with this if we could get Gortat with our MLE.
The Dallas Mavericks opened the free-agent period early Wednesday by letting guard Jason Kidd know that they are prepared to sign him to a three-year deal, according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
The specifics to be determined in those talks center on the money, with the Mavericks believed to be proposing a deal in the $21 million to $25 million range for the 36-year-old guard, and Kidd said to be seeking more.
Jason Kidd is unlikely to find a home for himself for several weeks, as he waits to see the moves the Dallas Mavericks make to upgrade their roster, league sources said Wednesday.
The Knicks are unlikely to give Kidd more than a one-year deal for the mid-level exception around $5 million, while Dallas would likely pay him around $8 million.
Kidd believes the novelty of playing in the Garden and for Mike D'Antoni might wear on him during the course of what will likely be a difficult season.
Wouldn't that be sweet. They have few players I wouldn't want the Mavs to have. With Rudy coming out with his discontent about his playing time makes things even more interesting.

I don't know what to say. If we let him leave for nothing, we basically let Devin Harris for nothing...
On the other hand, that's a boatload for someone who has very apparent flaws at this stage of his career, do we really want Kidd back next year ? Maybe this is all part of a S&T.

The New York Daily News reports representatives of the New York Knicks will meet Wednesday with free agent and former Dallas Mavericks' guard Jason Kidd(notes).
A league source told the Daily News Monday night that Kidd is scheduled to sit down with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and head coach Mike D'Antoni early Wednesday. Kidd said in January that he would strongly consider signing with the Knicks.
Kidd, who helped the Nets reach back-to-back NBA Finals before being traded to Dallas two years ago, is giving the Mavericks the first chance to re-sign him. The future Hall of Fame point guard will speak with Dallas officials before he talks to the Knicks. It is believed that Kidd also will talk to the Portland Trail Blazers, according to the Daily News.
Come on NY give us Curry for Kidd. Then we can for sure afford to move Dampier.

Outlaw and Webster hit the block.
I would love to have Outlaw in a Mavericks jersey. We can move Josh Howard to the SG spot or trade him for an All-Star SG and use Dampier/Stackhouse to improve our bench or get another All-Star player, a big preferably.
Outlaw is a good jump shooter and slasher, he's also pretty clutch in the fourth quarter.

The could certainly do some damage with Dampier and Stackhouse's expiring contracts.
A couple ideas that came to my mind were...
Dampier and Shawne Williams to the Hornets for James Posey and Morris Peterson
Stackhouse and draft picks/rights to Calathes for Nick Collison
PG: Jason Kidd...Jason Terry
SG: James Posey...Antoine Wright
SF: Josh Howard...Morris Peterson
PF: Dirk Nowitzki...Nick Collison
C: Marcin Gortat
Posey and Collison are a couple really nice tough players that could give the Mavericks what they're missing right now. Peterson is someone they'd have to take for the Hornets to do the deal, but he probably still has some shot left in him.
