Kidd Trade Final

After nearly a week in the balance, the Jason Kidd trade from the Nets to Dallas has been finalized.

Jason Kidd will return to Dallas, where he began his NBA career 13 years ago.

Along with Kidd, the Nets will send forwards Malik Allen and Antoine Wright to Dallas. In turn, Dallas will send he Nets second year point guard Devin Harris, center DeSagana Diop, small forward Trenton Hassell, guard Maurice Ager, forward Keith Van Horn (who has been out of the league for two years) via sign-and-trade, first-round draft picks in 2008 and 2010 and $3 million in cash.

Kidd Trade to Dallas Appears to be Back On

Last Thursday, Jason Kidd appeared to be on his way to Dallas, as Dallas and the Nets agreed to a blockbuster trade that would have sent Kidd to Dallas in exchange for Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse and other considerations.

But the trade stalled as Devean George initially blocked the trade and, later, some errant comments by Jerry Stackhouse allegedly caused the NBA to reconsider its approval of the deal.

However, today the Dallas Morning News reports that the Jason Kidd trade is back on.

What's Holding Up the Jason Kidd Trade?

Yesterday, Mark Cuban and Dallas worked a trade in order to acquire Jason Kidd from the Nets. But Dallas' Devean George exercised his "Larry Bird" rights, and nixed the deal. Dallas then attempted to convince George to change his mind.

But something is preventing the trade from going through.

Is it George? Or is the NBA objecting to the trade because of comments made by Jerry Stackhouse?
