The New Jersey Nets have completed the trade of All-Star point guard Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks. The deal has been in the making since before the All-Star break and was finally settled Tuesday, involving eight players and bolstering the Mavericks for their playoff run.

The trade sends Kidd, forward Malik Allen and guard Antoine Wright to Dallas for point guard Devin Harris, center DeSagana Diop and swingman Maurice Ager, plus retired forward Keith Van Horn and Trenton Hassell. New Jersey also gets two first-round draft picks and $3 million.
