The New Jersey Nets have acquired guards Devin Harris, Trenton Hassell, Maurice Ager, center DeSagana Diop and forward Keith Van Horn along with Dallas’ first round draft picks in 2008 and 2010, and cash considerations from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard Jason Kidd and forwards Antoine Wright and Malik Allen, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today.
I think Devin Harris is going to be a very good point guard, so the wildcard of this trade is Antoine Wright. If the Mavs don’t get to the Finals during Kidd’s second stint in Dallas, then Wright will have to turn into a player for this trade to be considered a good one.
Here is some good insight from ESPN’s Mark Stein. He makes a good point about the Mavs’ last two playoff exits and the need for a change in the locker room.
