You might as well have been prepared to talk about Nash. You must have forgotten that as the number of posts in a thread approaches infinity, the probability of chum mentioning the Mavs' decision to let Nash walk approaches one. It's a borderline theorem on these boards.

I guess you could say that in retrospect as our window appears to have closed. But it also appears that the Devin trade is what slammed it shut so, again, you're burying the lead.
Put another way, you had your run. It was a nice one too as Nash walked away with back to back MVP's and knocked us out of the playoffs in 2005. But at this point Nash to PHX is yesterday's news as we have a new former PG tearing up the league.

I'm sure you and I would both like to live '06 differently, but that's water under the proverbial bridge. You seem to express some dissatisfaction over the trade of Devin Harris for Jason Kidd. Well...at least you got Jason Kidd in the deal.
If anyone is burying the lede, as it were, it is you, my friend. Nash and Harris were once teammates.
Let that sink in.

Devin with 26, 5 and 6 thru 28 minutes so far in the 3rd against Phoenix. That boy good. I'm so glad this board archives all old posts so I have proof of how much I was against this trade from day 1 and not just jumping on the bandwagon.

Devin Harris is the BEST PG in the east at this point, as of right now he has 36 pts, 5 rebs and 6 assists.

now 36. I'd love to have his scoring and defensive ability on this team...
Oh yeah, we could have added some front court depth in Ryan Anderson, who the nets took with our pick or someone like Darrell "shady" Arthur. Or we could have taken a backup pg such as George Hill instead of JJB. Don't forget we still have to give up another 1st in 2010. What an ass-raping of epic proportions this trade was and I still harbor ill-will towards the franchise for their reactive nature of last year instead of being a forward-thinking club.
Looking like the Maverick version of the Joey Galloway trade more and more each day. That set the Cowboys back 10 years some argue.

Devin Harris under Avery Johnson was never going to be more than a lap dog.

so what...Avery Johnson is gone. Devin Harris was 24 years old when we unloaded his ass for an overrated has-been that never was.

I understand you might not like Kidd but we're not getting Devin back. There is nothing you can do about it, sometimes it hurts(like right now) when I see Devin kicking tail for another team but we just have to hope that Kidd can play well for us.

Hey, I understand. I just enjoy crowing that I am much smarter than the mav front office. Of this, I have no doubt.

I loved Devin when he was here. And I wish I could say I'm happy for him. But in my heart I wish failure on him because I don't know if I can take another Nash-type situation on this board for the next 10 years.

Harris is awesome. I loved George when he blocked the trade...then we made another trade without George in it and lost the stud that is Devin. I'm going to the Nets-Wiz game on Tuesday, let's hope he keeps his hot play up for the Wiz so I can enjoy!

I don't know whether to be happy or sad for trading away Devin. As someone else mentioned, at least Donnie drafted well in 2004.

I dont know what is more absurd-- Harris getting 47pts, 8reb, 7ast or the Suns allowing 43 points in a single quarter.

Where the hell did all of this come from Devin? Even those who opposed the trade couldn't have seen this coming. He's literally playing like a top 10 player in the NBA.

He's really going to be an all-star this year isn't he? There is no possible way they can deny him that spot. You can't name a better pg in the east. And the Mavericks suffering contnues...
