Wednesday Mavs Snippets

• Jason Kidd to Mavs imminent?! “The proposed swap — salvaged from talks of a three-way trade with Portland that developed and fizzled quickly two weeks ago — would require Dallas to send 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse, the expiring contracts of center DeSegana Diop and swingman Devean George and another player such as guard Maurice Ager to New Jersey for Kidd and possibly forward Malik Allen or veteran guard Darrell Armstrong. It’s believed that Dallas would also send New Jersey cash ($3 million is the league maximum) and one or two future first-round draft choices. One source told ESPN.com that the Mavericks and Nets were also discussing a separate trade that would send Antoine Wright to Dallas for a future second-round pick. ”  ESPN

• What do you know..Mavs actually were looking at trading for Shaq. “Incidentally, after Dallas failed to convince the Heat to buy out Shaquille O’Neal, the Mavericks offered Erick Dampier and discussed Jason Terry but never offered Josh Howard. Phoenix’s offer was much better.
