Jason Kidd Pulling A Vince Carter?

The Cavs don’t have what it takes to get Kidd. But the Lakers do.

What a dishonorable schmuck! His contract pays him to give his best effort. I doubt that it guarantees that the players around him will be a winning combo.
I appreciate KG and Ray more every day. There are more Jason Kidd’s than KG/Rays out there.

I LOVE seeing Jason Kidd fail and be miserable. What a big baby asking for a trade. That team should clearly be our biggest competitor in our division but it’s just not happening.

I’m not sure how Cleveland could pull the deal off, but I can tell you that I’d be terrified if they do. Kidd isn’t much of a shooter, so in a lot of ways he’d be an odd fit at PG for a team where everyone collapses off the main scorer, but Kidd’s good enough that I’m not sure it would matter. It would be a significant upgrade for a team like that, I hope this is all made up.

NJ have to blow up that team. They should have done it two years ago. They simply are not good enough and they are throwing away Jason Kidd’s career in the process.

Cavs can’t get him. LA will only get him if NJ is willing to take Odom alone (maybe Kwame too). Dallas has nothing substantial to offer and they can’t get him either. I can’t see any trade that will make any sense for NJ (that Kidd would accept) except cap space. They’ll be luck to get 15c on the dollar for Kidd.

He’s too old to get anything big back in a trade. They’ll be lucky to get a mid level prospect in return.

I don’t think so at all. Toronto are a much better ball club. NJ don’t have the talent.

if cleveland is in the mix i bet one of their trading chips could be varejao.

that is good news. It is one less team to worry about in the east as if the Nets were something to worry about anyway.

 I see him going to the Lakers maybe Denver?

Kidd and Kobe on the same team… watch out laker girls.

Denver should offer Iverson. That would help Denver out and help NJ save face (the other offers are going to be terrible)

Maybe he was sick…playing with Carter (who takes every other play off) would make me sick.

Kidd has a great role model to follow in Tank Carter. The Nets kind of got what they deserved when they extended somebody who bragged about tanking. Kidd is probably tired of playing with somebody getting paid more than him playing at half-speed.

Dallas, I would think, could get Kidd — and man, do they need him — but one would think they would have to include Howard. Not sure losing Howard makes them much better. But if any team in the league could use Kidd, it’s them.

I completely agree with the previous poster who said that they need to blow up this team. They’ve gone with their own “big 3” of Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson for way too long. If it hasn’t produced them a championship yet, it never will. They’re kinda stuck now though considering they just signed Vince Carter to a big deal over this past offseason.

not a snowballs chance thorn moves him in the conference.

Houston, Dallas (Avery wanted him in the summer), Lakers, and Denver are the only players here.

I’ll agree to disagree- I’ll take Kidd, Jefferson, Carter and Krstic over the top 4 Raptors in a heartbeat.

Well if they complemented each other in any way, shape or form I could understand the argument.

The situation becomes even worse when you take into account the rest of the roster and the decisions made by Lawrence Frank since attaining Carter (the destruction of their motion offense which he has brought back somewhat this year).

Kidd is the best fast break point guard in the league and he’s running it with RJ and no-one else. That’s how poorly constructed a side it is. Go through every part of that team, they can’t function as a unit.

I’d take the Raps with Bosh, TJ, Calderon and whoever (Bargnani) every day of the week. They make each other better.

I think Miami should try and make a run at Kidd. Give up Williams, Haslem and a first, maybe throw in Cook.

Seriously I don’t see any quality offers coming in for Kidd. He’s too old, too expensive and nobody knows how much he has left in the tank beyond this season.

Seems to me Kidd was a free agent a few years ago and had lots of options. He decided to stay in Jersy (stupid), got paid, and now he shoves his thumb in his mouth and wants to leave. What a chump. While I have admired his play, I always thought he was a dip. I hope that him watching what the Celtics did in the off season had a big impact on his little pitty party. It must suck for him seeing us vault way past them on the talent scale. It sooo fun to be good again!!!

He’ll be with the Lakers soon.
