I’m completely spent from the Clemens hearings, so I’ll let ESPN do the talking:

Sources told ESPN.com that the Mavericks and Nets on Wednesday reached an agreement in principle on a Kidd deal after talks had seemingly stalled last week, moving the teams to brink of completing the NBA’s third blockbuster deal of the month.

Although sources say that 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.

The Nets would also receive $3 million from the Mavs and Dallas’ first-round picks in June ‘08 and ‘10. New Jersey is expected to buy out Stackhouse’s contract immediately, allowing the veteran guard to re-sign with the Mavs in 30 days’ time.
