Johnson responds to rumors

Avery Johnson addressed – sort of – the reports surrounding the possible trade for Jason Kidd.

“We’ve been hearing a lot of stuff for a while now,” Johnson said. “Mark hasn’t informed me or Donnie that a trade has been completed.”

That’s obviously Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson. The game has started and all the Mavs that were with the team this morning are with the team now. Johnson added talks continue with other teams and the Mavs will act if there if a deal is out there that makes sense.

“We’ve been pretty constant there,” Johnson said. “I haven’t wavered in my stance.”

The trade deadline is right around the corner on Feb. 21.
