He may be thrown in to complete the trade. The odds he plays are extremely slim, but just to see him in a Net uni again will be funny, but awesome.
If he gets thrown in, it'll be much like Aaron McKie being added in the Gasol trade. He'll be getting put in to balance the salaries, that's it. I highly doubt he ever plays again.

i really like KVH. i remember back when he was a nets and i went to the games and everytime he made a 3 the guy was like KIETH VANHOOOOOOOOORN.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (go nets @ Feb 14 2008, 09:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>can anyone elaborate more on this situation</div> From what I understand he only has to pay like an additional 5 million with the KVH scenario...not a deal breaker. Personally I think Dallas is gonna give George til Monday to decide and if he doesn't relent then option B featuring KVH will take place by tuesday at the latest. Cuban would wait til thursday but this trade effects the possible Mike Miller trade so I think Thorn wants to get it done sooner rather than later. Pretty exciting time right now...Two potential blockbusters and an additional big deal. To think we're in negotiations with Indiana, Memphis and Dallas for seperate players...pretty crazy.
well this should help clear things up, Mavs Full Court Press <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With Devean George continuing to insist that he will not approve a trade to New Jersey, the Mavericks’ only hopes of salvaging a trade for Jason Kidd might rest with an unlikely source -- Keith Van Horn. Van Horn has not played since the 2005-06 season but the Mavericks have never renounced his rights. He has what is known as a "cap hold" status and can be signed to a contract to complete a Kidd deal. It would be even better for the Nets than George. According to NBA salary cap rules, the Mavericks have to get within 25 percent plus $100,000 of Kidd's $19,728,000 contract. That amount would be $15,800,000 Here are the Mavericks contracts on the players Dallas has offered rounded to the nearest $1,000. Devin Harris: $3,995,000 Jerry Stackhouse: $6,750,000 DeSagna Diop: $2,146,000 Maurice Ager: $974,000 That comes to $13,865,000. So if the Mavericks signed Van Horn to a contract for $1,985,000, that would bring them to the total needed to trade for Kidd. Sources say the Mavericks have yet to offer the option to the Nets and have been working hard today to try and convince George to waive his no trade clause. But for the Nets, having to pay the prorated share of Van Horn's $1,985,000 deal would not be that much different than the prorated portion of George's $2,360,000 deal. And it serves the same purpose to give the Nets a contract that expires after this season. The unknown in this is New Jersey GM Rod Thorn, who is one of the toughest negotiators in the league. Again, however, it's hard to believe the two teams would be so close to a trade and not be able to work out a deal. -- Jan Hubbard</div>

And here's Stein again with a very clear explanation of why Cuban wants George in the deal instead of Van Horn. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Another option is Dallas signing and trading the retired Keith Van Horn in George's place. Although he's been out of the game since the end of the 2005-06 season, Van Horn hasn't filed official retirement papers with the league, allowing Dallas to retain his rights. The Mavs, then, could create an expiring contract for the Nets by adding Van Horn to the deal in name only, because only the first year of a contract must be guaranteed in a sign-and-trade arrangement. Mavs owner Mark Cuban, though, insisted to ESPN.com last week that "we won't use [Van Horn] in any deal for anyone." That's because Kidd would cost the Mavericks nearly $40 million next season, thanks to the luxury tax, if they only sent Harris, Van Horn and salary-cap filler to the Nets. Even the much simpler step of taking George out and plugging Van Horn in would still add to what was already a substantial bill for Cuban. If George stays in the trade, Dallas' luxury-tax bill at season's end rises from $9.1 million to $15 million, along with the $3 million cash that Dallas has agreed to add to the deal. If George stays on the Mavs' roster and Van Horn is signed, Dallas' tax bill rises to $17-plus million at season's end.</div> Link.
