**RenegadeLonghorn** · 02-13-2008, 10:34 PM

With the New Jersey Nets poised to complete a blockbuster deal to send Jason Kidd back to Dallas on Wednesday night, Mavericks reserve forward Devean George has unexpectedly exercised his right to block the trade, according to NBA front-office sources. Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com that the teams verbally agreed to the deal earlier Wednesday and were preparing to submit the trade for league approval when George informed the Mavericks that he wouldn't consent to being included in the deal, which is his right based on a rare provision in his one-year contract.

An overpaid bench player blocks the Deal. Nice.

I dont watch a ton of Basketball but it seems the Mavs where giving up to much for Kid. Maybe I just think to much of Harris.

What was Cuban thinking anyways! He wants to get rid of his team for one player? Thought they need to have at least 5 players on the court? I love it bet George won't be back next year in a Mavs uni!!!! LOL

Hmm. As much as I like Jason Kidd, that's giving up a lot to get him. Especially considering his age. I guess the Mavs are taking the same approach as the Suns. Give it your best shot NOW.

Which players are they giving up? Anyway George is being selfish. He won't get sign next year anyway. I hate when somebody think only about themselves knowing that he is not going to be on that team anymore.
