CALIFORNIA KIDD
WARRIORS, LAKERS FAVORITES TO GET JASON



February 18, 2007 -- LAS VEGAS - Cheerless to say, yet indisputably reasonable, in all likelihood, we've seen the last of Jason Kidd in a Nets uniform. On the other hand, I suspect he hasn't lost his ability to grace an occasional New York City tabloid front page.

Within the last week the Warriors, I'm informed, have communicated interest in the Oakland-native and certainly flaunt more than enough assets to outbid the Lakers for his services. I do not know the principles involved, or even if an actual offer was made.

Would the Nets accept, say, Jason Richardson (four years and $55M left after this one), Adonal Foyle (two years and $19M) and rising-free-agent Michael Pietrus? If Jason Collins (two years and $12.3M) were included in the deal, most certainly!

Even should Golden State refuse, I'd do it because it would terminate the guesswork regarding Vince Carter's contract intentions at season's end. Of course, should Carter verbally commit to the Nets before Thursday's trade deadline - and it's established he isn't using Carlos Boozer's agent or wife as consultants - that abruptly ends any notion of dealing Kidd to the Warriors.

The Nets' insistence that Collins accompany Kidd to LA is an obstruction in that trade negotiation, but not intractable, I'm guessing. If a better offer than expiring contracts, draft picks, cash and Kwame Brown or Brian Cook doesn't materialize within the next four days, I'm inclined to believe Kidd will return to the Triangle Offense from whence he began as a rebellious rookie in Dallas under Jim Cleamons, off and on assistant to Phil Jackson for the last 15 years or so.



I'm down, as long as we don't give up Farmar or Bynum...

agreed
kobe and him will be 

[Sparegeez]

Hell nah. Not J-rich and Pietrus.

[GangstaBoogy]

Kidd would bring a lot to this team. 11 points, 8 rebounds, not to mention the defense he would provide against Nash/T.Parker/Terry would be great for the playoffs.

amount of assists

[wcsoldier]

That would be great... our backcourt D will be  .. and I think Kidd got a very high B-Ball IQ so the triangle offense would be quickly understood... Imagine Luke, Kidd, Lamar, Kobe , Bynum... best passing lineup in the league... as Nik said, as long as Farmar and Bynum stay , just do it..

[Don Jacob]

besides farmar and bynum who are they talking about giving up to get him

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

Smush + Cook or Kwame  + Expiring contract of Mihm, Mckie, or Shammond + a draft pick or 2.

[Don Jacob]

i'd do it, shit with bynum on the rise we really don't need kwame anymore, and if kidd gets too old to perform we always got farmar in the background.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

I dunno if I'd get rid of Kwame, we're really thin without him. I'd much rather give 'em Cook (though he's a great shooter). We already have VladRad playing the shooting power forward and Turiaf has nice mid-range as well...Losing Kwame now might be too risky though...PeACe

[wcsoldier]

Acquring Kidd would make us VERY hard to beat at full effect.. I prefer to trade Cook or even Vlad than Kwame coz NOW Kwame D 1 on 1 is better than Andrew one... I hope this trade gonna happen . but it's near too nice to be real

Yeah just what I was thinking. I don't want to give up Kwame. I really don't want Cook to go, but hey, this is Jason Kidd were talkin about here.

[wcsoldier]

^^^^ well our current pb is that we give up WAY too many points in the point and I think iit's mainly because of poor perimeter D ... even with Kwame back that's not gonna solve our pb because he's not a GREAT help defender or blocker.. FIRST he's a top 3 defender on the low post and does a great job on keeping the bigs out of the paint... but D begins at the perimeter and Kidd will be a very good upgrade comparing to Smush.. so I'll give up Kwame if it's the only way that trade can be finalize...
