My Sources Say Jason Kidd & Alonzo Mourning Are Getting Traded To...

[THUNDER HANDS]

Miami in the very near future, possibly before New Years.

In return the Nets would get Michael Doleac, Damon Jones and three first round draft picks.

You heard it here first, if it happens.

1. I thought Mourning retired?

:wow:

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. hell no

he's back and playing very well, averaging about 14 pts, 8 rbs and 2 blks a game.

Oh, expect the trade to happen in two parts. Mourning will go first, probably within the next two weeks.

It'll be Mourning for Doleac and Jones.

[Skink]

4. Doesn't Shaq play for Miami now?

I'm a little behind.:hippie:

3. The money would not work on that

New Jersey trades:
PG Jason Kidd (No games yet played in 2004/05)
C Alonzo Mourning (10.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 0.7 apg in 25.5 minutes)

New Jersey receives:
C Michael Doleac (2.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 0.4 apg in 12.4 minutes)
PG Damon Jones (10.1 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 27.9 minutes)

Change in team outlook: +2.2 ppg, -2.2 rpg, and +2.6 apg.

Miami trades:
C Michael Doleac (2.4 ppg, 2.8 rpg, 0.4 apg in 12.4 minutes)
PG Damon Jones (10.1 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 2.9 apg in 27.9 minutes)
Miami receives:
Jason Kidd (No games yet played in 2004/05)
C Alonzo Mourning (10.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 0.7 apg in 25.5 minutes)

Change in team outlook: -2.2 ppg, +2.2 rpg, and -2.6 apg.

TRADE DECLINED

Due to New Jersey and Miami being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. New Jersey and Miami had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did not happen here (only New Jersey met the condition). This trade does not satisfy the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

5. well, half that trade is guaranteed to happen

Doleac and Jones will go for Mourning. That trade is gonna happen.

As for Kidd, his status is more up in the air. He will go to one of three teams:

Miami
Sacramento
Dallas

My source says the most likely guy is suitor is Miami because Kidd has always wanted to play with a great Big Man like Shaq.

6. Why would Kidd go to Sac?

heavyweight point guards already.

[THUNDER HANDS]

7. team needs a change

Kidd to Sac for Bibby + Ostertag perhaps. :shrug:

Kidd, Webber and Peja would be hard to beat.

[Mojambo]

8. Kidd for Eddie Jones would work money wise

Jason Kidd has a tough contract to move and there are still 4 years left on it.

12. My main question about this

is Dwayne Wade...he's been arguably the best PG in the NBA so far this season...

[VTdem]

9. The heat would be nasty

if that was true. Shaq, Wade, Kidd, Alonzo, and Eddie Jones.

[sir_captain]

10. Seriously?

Dwayne Wade is going to move to the 2?

Why would the Heat want Mourning?

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. to backup Shaq

possibly play with him at the 4 from time-to-time.

[sir_captain]

13. I guess I could see that

they don't have a great 4 for sure
