they kept saying during the game "It's not completely official yet" during the game, and I started thinking about what it would be like if it ended up falling apart. Didn't think it'd get this close to actually happening.

How does he change his stance without completely losing whatever credibility he has left? What is his stance?

George had a player option for this season, but declined it. He then resigned with the Mavs for 1 year. Either way he would have had early bird rights this summer, but by doing this, he got the CBA provided right to refuse a trade.
Dallas and New Jersey is letting a guy who is currently 0/11 from the field, 0/4 from 3pt and 0/2 from the line stop the deal. Good God.

Good God, if this trade does not go down by the trade deadline, I can't wait for Mar. 8th when the Nets play the Mavs again. Jason Kidd is going to flagrant foul George so badly it'll make TJ Ford's injury look like TJ was just going for a joyride on a stretcher.
maybe George was thinking about the circumstances of this trade. Maybe he thought to himself: "I'm being traded because this guy DEMANDED a trade and he DEMANDED he wants to play for the Mavs. And then his scumback agent threatens the Nets by saying he won't get his clients to make deals there? F that! "

The funny thing is that it's almost like George thinks he's to good for us, Devean George thinks he's to good for the NJ Nets P.S. Diop is pissed I hear
