| Dallas, TX (Best E Casino) - A deal that would have sent star point guard Jason Kidd from the New Jersey Nets to the Dallas Mavericks has been blocked. Mavericks reserve forward Devean George, one of the players involved in the trade, unexpectedly exercised his right to block the deal. George told the Mavericks that he wouldn't consent to being included in the trade, which is his right from a provision in his one-year contract. If George agreed to the trade, it could cost him his "early Bird rights" which co |

TORONTO (AP) -Chris Bosh had 27 points, Jose Calderon had 22 points and 12 assists and the Toronto Raptors beat the New Jersey Nets, who were playing without Jason Kidd, 109-91 on Wednesday night. The Nets seemed on the verge of a blockbuster trade that would send Kidd to Dallas, and the All-Star point guard was not around for this game. Life without Kidd did not look pretty for the Nets, who never led and trailed by as many as 30. It's the second time this season the Raptors have won big against the |
