How about the Jason Kidd trade?
Dallas hasn’t beaten a winning team since Jason Kidd arrived. The Mavs are 0-8, including their last three, all at home. They were 29-4 at home—without losing as many as two in a row—before falling to the Lakers, Celtics and now the Spurs.
Dallas is fourth in their own division trailing New Orleans and Chris Paul, the surprising Tracy McGrady Rockets, and the surging Tim Duncan Spurs.
Mark Cuban must be going out of his mind.
