Jerry Stackhouse's comments alluding to the fact that the New Jersey Nets were to buy out his contract in time for his former team to re-sign him just for the final stretch of the season may very well be the reason the trade won't happen.
Stackhouse has caused a whirlwind of controversy across the league causing several general managers to complain to commissioner David Stern.
The trade would've brought perennial All-Star point guard Jason Kidd to the Mavericks in exchange for several talented youngsters from Dallas.
Now it's certainly understandable why Dallas feels a need to make an acquisition following the recent moved of the Lakers to get Gasol and the Suns to get Shaq. However, they may be jeopardizing their team in years to come by sacrificing two first-round draft picks in addition to rising talents in Devon Harris and Desagna Diop.
Sure, Jason Kidd improves Dallas's team for the time being, but they still seem to be a player or two behind the top Western Conference teams.
