So...what if this thing really doesn't go through? What is "Larry Bird rights" scuttle it? And, before this, how many of you had any idea what "Larry Bird rights" were? Or that they even existed? Or even know what they mean now? Yeah. I don't either. And really don't care to know. At any rate, Devean George continues to resist his exile to Newark, and Kidd remains a Net. Which prompts Chris Mannix at si.com to wonder what Dirk will have to do in order to help repair feelings in the Dallas locker room: "He's looking out for himself a little bit," Nowitzki said. "In a way, we play a team sport but a lot of it is about individuals. It's Dirk versus Kobe, not L.A. versus Dallas. It's not promoted as much as a team sport as it is in Europe. Devean was looking out for himself; that's what you are used to over here." Oooohh. I don't think that's going to help.
