Kidd to Dallas trade blocked!

With the trade deadline looming, the Dallas Mavericks are trying to make a blockbuster trade for former Maverick and triple-double machine Jason Kidd. An agreement has virtually been reached between Dallas and New Jersey but some scrub named Devean George blocked the trade from falling through. Apparently, he has the Early Bird rights which give players something similar to a no-trade clause (only Kobe has an active no-trade clause on his NBA contract).

What the fuck was Devean George thinking? He ain't no superstar. Dallas owner could get back at the scrub for fucking this trade up.

A lot of suggestions have been discussed in various internet forums, among them are:

- Deactivate him for the rest of the season. That means no playing time.
- Cut/waive him, but they still have to pay him his guaranteed salary.
- Send the fucker down to the D-League.

I think Cuban and the Mavericks front office should get some pretty neat revenge by doing the third option. Sending an NBA veteran to the D-League is probably the worst punishment a pro player can get. No more private jets, hotel suites, and the works and perks of an NBA player. Instead, dude's gonna travel via commercial flights and Greyhound buses.

That'll teach him a lesson.
