Did Stackhouse screw up Kidd deal? (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/40194)

David Stern must be mortified at what happened Wednesday and what he's hearing from Jerry Stackhouse (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/4122). Shortly before the stunning news of Devean George (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/4235)'s declaration got out (no league conference call had taken place, so the trade wasn't official) a giddy Stackhouse was quoted at length regarding his contract buyout by the Nets (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/4557); he said he was looking forward to 30 days of rest and then he'd be back in Dallas. That 30-day time frame was established to impede teams from making side arrangements in order to circumvent salary-cap rules. A desirable player is included in a package (Gary Payton (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/4077) is the poster player) to make a deal (Boston to Atlanta) work contractually, is waived and then re-signed by the team that traded him. The reality is, teams merely have adjusted to the rule change. Despite the closed loophole, it's shady business as usual, on 30-day delay. "It's done all the time," a couple of GMs openly admit. "You're just not supposed to talk about it." In view of the league's rule being brazenly broken, Stern has no choice but to kill it before it can become official, or, at the very least, insist Stackhouse not be prohibited to re-sign with Dallas. If that were the case there's no way Mark Cuban will follow through on acquiring Jason Kidd (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/4104).
