Stan McNeal of the Sporting News put together an idea for a Jason Kidd-to-Dallas trade that made sense to him:

To make the salaries match, the Mavs could offer Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, DeSagana Diop, Juwan Howard and Devean George. The latter three all have expiring contracts, which would clear about about $5 million off the Nets' books this summer, free them of paying Kidd $21-plus million next season and give them a pair of solid guards in Harris and Stackhouse.

McNeal emailed Mark Cuban for his response, which was priceless:

"Step away from your crack dealer."
