As of now, the Kidd to Dallas deal is off due to Devean George invoking a no trade clause. Of course, he may yet be persuaded (financially or otherwise) to accept the trade.
Unless Dallas can resign Stackhouse after New Jersey waves him, I do not think this deal makes the Mavs any better. They give up a younger point guard for a declining Kidd, and give up bench depth in Stackhouse.
On the local radio yesterday the talk was about the Pistons potentially going after Stackhouse, should this deal go through. I just do not see it happening. I think he would either rejoin Dallas or go to Boston. He would not get much playing time in Detroit, and has just as good a chance to win a title in Boston. He has a home in Dallas, too.
