Mavericks coach and general manager Don Nelson admitted after Tuesday's trade with Detroit that Dallas was behind the unraveling of a historic deal that would've sent Laettner to the Los Angeles Lakers, Patrick Ewing to Seattle and Vin Baker to New York. ``Oh, we broke it up,'' Nelson said from his home in Hawaii. ``No question.'' He added: ``They were an hour from putting that thing to bed, but we gave them a reason to take a second look.'' ------------------ When I die I want to go right after watching a rockets game !
