When the Mavs traveled to New Jersey recently, they got a first hand look at Harris and the Nets. By the time the game was over, the Mavs wished they could be anywhere but New Jersey. Harris had scored 41 points and dished out 13 assists as the Nets embarrassed the Mavs. Kidd played solidly but there’s no question these days that Harris is the better player.

Nets fans, to show their holiday spirit, warmly thanked Mavs owner Mark Cuban for allowing Harris to be a part of their team. As you can hear in the video below, the Nets fans are chanting “Thank You, Cuban” in reference to the Kidd for Harris trade.

When Harris was with the Mavs, they made the NBA finals. This season, the Mavs may not even make the playoffs. With that in mind, I’m sure there are plenty of teams in the Western Conference who would like to join Nets fans in thanking Cuban.

Here is the Thank You, Cuban video in reference to Devin Harris:

Thank You, Cuban – Video – Devin Harris

Although these allegations are serious, I have to side with Cuban. I don’t think he’s capable of making a good trade — which is what insider trading generally means. I mean, this is the same owner who approved a trade for Jason Kidd.

In case you haven’t been watching, Kidd has been just good enough to lead the Mavericks down the cellar. While Kidd hasn’t been horrible, the Mavs miss the play of the young point guard they traded away — Devin Harris.

With only three wins if their first ten games of the season, the Mavericks are going nowhere fast. If this team were owned by a billionaire who knows how to make crafty trades by bending the rules, they wouldn’t be in this predicament.

Mark Cuban is Innocent!
