ESPN is reporting that a deal to send Jason Kidd from New Jersey to Dallas is “imminent.” It sounded like a lot until the Stackhouse stuff was fleshed out. From the story:

Although sources say the teams are still sorting out final details, this deal was described as “imminent” by multiple sources close to the process after negotiations moved to an advanced stage Tuesday night. The deal — salvaged from talks on a three-way trade with Portland that developed and fizzled quickly two weeks ago — has Dallas sending 24-year-old point guard Devin Harris, veteran swingman Jerry Stackhouse, the expiring contracts of center DeSagana Diop and swingman Devean George and guard Maurice Ager to New Jersey for Kidd and forward Malik Allen. Sources say Dallas will also send the Nets the league-maximum $3 million, the Mavs’ first-round draft pick this June and a first-rounder in 2010. The Nets are expected to buy out Stackhouse’s contract immediately, which could enable him to re-sign with Dallas if he waits 30 days.

*ESPN orders the Berman videos taken down. Fear not, Berman video lovers: Deadspin has them all saved.

*Steroids have reached our prison softball fields. The headline’s a grabber, too.

*This is fairly awesome.

*And, because we can’t ignore it: Roger Clemens’ reputation has been ruined forever. There, we said it. Bill Plaschke says it better.
