It's Official - Kidd Is A Maverick

Owner Mark Cuban said his Dallas Mavericks grew stagnant. Reigning MVP Dirk Nowitzki agreed.

Things changed Tuesday with the long-awaited arrival of All-Star point guard Jason Kidd in an eight-player trade with New Jersey that was discussed for weeks, scuttled once, reconfigured and finally approved by the NBA.

Now, the Mavericks get to see what became of the Kidd they took with the No. 2 pick 14 years ago, when they dreamed of winning a game here and there instead of a championship. Nowitzki gets the closest thing he's had to a running buddy since good friend Steve Nash left for Phoenix in 2004.

The Nets get a point guard 10 years younger than Kidd in Devin Harris, a functional center in DeSagana Diop and two first-round draft picks.

New Jersey also picked up swingman Maurice Ager, forward Trenton Hassell, retired forward Keith Van Horn and an extra $3 million. Dallas' other pieces were forward Malik Allen and guard Antoine Wright.
