I'd rather people be honest instead of keeping quiet and trying to be sneaky and trying to act like everyone's stupid.

Stack said he was only part of the deal to make the numbers work. Nothing wrong with that. It's done in every trade. He said he'd have 30 days off to rest and then he'd be back. This was in Adrian Wojnarowski's column on Yahoo on Wednesday:

For New Jersey, president Rod Thorn would get back the three elements he most wanted for Kidd: a good young player (Harris), expiring contracts (Diop and George) and draft picks. What’s more, the Nets plan to buyout the rest of Stackhouse’s contract. Stackhouse can become an immediate free agent, but must wait 30 days to re-sign with Dallas.

One league source expected Stackhouse to return to the Mavericks if the trade had been completed.


Stackhouse said "Getting bought out, if that happens, my first choice would be to come back to Dallas. I'm settled in, just bought a house," he said.

So now a guy doesn't have the right to say what his choices would be?
