“Guys can tend to start thinking about, ‘Am I staying? Am I leaving?’” Kidd said. “They’re human, and they hear things. This is the time where good teams that aren’t making any trades tend to run off five or six games and the teams that are worried about where they’re staying for All-Star break or [if] they [are] being traded tend to have some slippage.
“So we have to help them through this because it’s just natural if you hear something. You’re going to think you can be traded, and as much as we say we don’t as athletes, we hear everything.”
Based on this quote, a massive Mavericks trade must be coming because the "slippage" is about as bad as it can get. It is sad, the Magic and Thunder seem to be strong enough mentally heading into the ASB.
