Later Wednesday, Cuban wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press that the get-together "went well, i was really happy how it turned out."

Kidd also met Wednesday with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and coach Mike D'Antoni at Madison Square Garden. Several other clubs are expected to woo the 36-year-old star, perhaps including a top contender like the Cavaliers.

Kidd's agent, Jeff Schwartz, did not immediately respond to phone messages left at his office.

The Mavs also are targeting Orlando center Marcin Gortat, sending coach Rick Carlisle as one of their recruiters.

Gortat backed up Dwight Howard as a rookie last season and is now a restricted free agent, which means the Magic could keep him by matching any offer. However, with the addition of Vince Carter and his salary, Orlando isn't likely to invest heavily in the backup to their franchise player.

Dallas could view Gortat as a backup to Erick Dampier or possibly his eventual replacement. Dampier's expiring contract makes him potential trade bait this summer, so the starting spot could be open in months or by next season if Dampier ends up playing out his deal.
