I don't think Jefferson is going anywhere. I don't think they would try to rebuild around Finley, at his age. I think you are more likely to see something like this: IF anything were to happen.

TRADE ACCEPTED


This way NJ gets out from under 2 contracts they don't want. Get an expiring contract in Henderson back. A Big in Booth, and a guy to build around in Terry.

Not sure that Mark wants to take the chance on Kidd/Mourning though with age and injuries.

** your trade would probably in the long run be better for the Mavs, but I just don't see it happening from a NJ standpoint.

Considering the fact Mourning is playing quite well and if Kidd were to come back healthy and at least 90% of his old self, I really like this trade.

Terry is good but after watching the last few games, it's obvious that we need a true playmaking PG. Kidd's a poor shooter but a great passer, defender and rebounder. We'd be the favorites for several years to come with this lineup:

Damp/Mourning/Bradley
Dirk/JHo/DJ
JHo/Stack
Fin/Quis
Kidd/Harris

Hope it happens.
