The Ponies and their Kidd

Sorry for the obscure title reference, see if you cna figure it out on your own. Also, sorry for the absence, I have been indisposed in what people tell me is the real world. Fuck that. I am back to my real world now. Somehow in my real world Devean George has the power to block a Jason Kidd to the left testicle of the NBA. I really don't know how George has this authority, and somehow I don't understand George's logic. I certainly understand not wanting to go to New Jersey because the best thing they have going for them is that tehy are moving to Brooklyn. Last I heard that wasn't the best place to raise a family either. On a short aside, what happens to Spike Lee when the Nets move to Brooklyn? He is from Brooklyn, but he is a die hard Knicks fan. Do we get a Yankees-Mets rivlary if they finally move? Do I care? Um, let think... NO!
Back to the point, I would like that Devean has the power to do this just because I know that Mavs fans everywhere are waiting impatiently with puckered starcookies. On the other hand I don't like this because this was another classic example of Mark Cuban spending money when he is bored in away that would hurt the team in the long run. Kidd's numbers are not much better than Harris's. Stack is a wash since the Nets intend to buy him out, adn Dallas would sign him after 30 days. The funny thing is that George is nothing more than an ecpiring contract. Kidd is old, and while he might be a leader that could yell at Dirk when he decided to disappear, he is not the Jason Kidd that Phoenix traded way. He is not the Jason Kidd that couldn't push the Nets pass the four games in the finals with a team that wasn't that much worse than Dallas's roster after that trade. Look at that NJ roster. Martin, Kidd, Kittles, Van Horn, and all young and quick.
For those of you that don't understand Dusty and I's irrational hatred of the Ponies, I submit the following. Most Mavs fans don't even remember when Jason Kidd played for them. They probably don't know that the other two J's were Jimmy Jackson and Jamal Mashburn. They probably don't realize that everywhere Kidd has left got better soon after his departure. They probably don't know who Mark Aguirre is or Rolando. Really, Dallas fans have fallen in love with a free spending computer nerd, a floppy haired Canadian, and ze German. The floppy one now plays in the desert because the computer nerd decided it would be better to spend his contract money on a guy that plays 15 minutes a night when he is on his game. That and Dallas just kind of sucks as a town. It is the shittiest big city in Texas. Their fans don't know much about the game.
Kidd for that matter has a way of out staying his welcome everywhere he has gone. The man can pass the ball, and shoot 36% from the field. Makes him kind of like Drew Barrymore with a beard. Not sure that I buy it unless I drink a lot more. Kidd for that matter is coasting on rep. He may be pulling a Shaq. I can't stand this. I make 20 million a year, but I don't like it here so I am going to bitch my way out of here faster than Ricky Bobby's dad at Applebee's. What spoiled little brats, or big ones actually.
So given all this, I hope the trade does get done with or without the inconsequential piece who has found a way to be of consequence in order guaruntee he doesn't get paid less next year. These two, the D-losses and Kidd, deserve each other, neither one has ever won much of consequence. If the deal goes through it will stay that way.
ALL-STAR weekend posts to come. The Captain signing off for now...
