According to a source, the NBA will not allow Jerry Stackhouse to return to Dallas if he is traded to the Nets in the Jason Kidd package.

"The league has taken Stackhouse out of the deal," the source said. "They said, 'He can be in the trade, but he can't go back to Dallas after that.'"

"I get 30 days to rest, then I'll be right back," Stackhouse told The Associated Press on Wednesday in response to the proposed trade. "I ain't going nowhere."
