It was the trade that brought everything full circle.

Dec. 17, 1996. If you don't recognize the date, don't worry. It was the last time Jason Kidd played as a Dallas Maverick at Reunion Arena. Not exactly a watershed moment or anything.

Few thought it would ever happen again. Fewer thought it would happen this season.

Jason Kidd, back in Dallas? The circle was complete.
