Nets future PG Marcus Williams is starting to rehab his injured leg and should be ready to play in the not too distant future. Look for a trade soon. It would be great for the Nets if Kidd was willing to go to the young talented Hawks, but he probably isn't, so look for him to go to the Lakers and Kobe.

Who does Cleveland have to trade?

LMAO at Captain Sunshine!

I forgot what I was gonna type...

Whether you believe him or not, if he said he had a headache, and the Nets believe it, why does he owe the media an explanation? It doesn't make any sense to handle it this way if he wanted out. And the Nets paid him for the day off. He may not have had a headache, but he wasn't posturing for a trade either.

Maybe Kidd isn't as good as he (and the media) thinks he is. He already has two really good players on his team (Carter and Jefferson). Why can't he win with them? His problem is that he can't score himself so he has to rely on everyone else on the court. Nash seems to make everyone around him better, and he can score. Kidd doesn't seem to do either. Sorry, I just think Kidd is severely overrated

Gee, Shaq is out of shape, not practicing hard and tuning out the coach....Is this Groundhog's day?...Same Shaq, different team

Liar liar pants on fire!

I agree dolphins. He was overrated almost his entire career. It might have been different if he could hit an open jump shot.

Speculation says you SUCK!

Dolphins.r u serious?!?! He took the Nets 2 the finals the yr he got there. 2 in a row mind u. It isnt his fault kristic cant stay healthy. He avgs more rebounds than his front court, magloire sucks, vc was a NO-SHOW while "overrated" j-kidd only averaged a triple -double throughout the playoffs. When nash gets outta the western finals and into the championship series talk 2 me. But everywhere kidd went the team he played 4 increased in the win column. So what he doesn't avg 20 pts /game, but since he left college when has he?? That's not his game. All u guys who claim he's overrated r haters. I guess him avgeraing close to a triple double this season holds no weight huh??

Was it really that big of a deal that Kidd got to the Finals in the years when the Eastern Conference was absolute garbage? How did they do in those Finals by the way? I'm pretty sure any of Nash's teams of the past 5 years would have won the Eastern Conference in those days. I really don't care about his triple doubles, especially this season. It seems like all them are 10 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists. He has to pass because he can't shoot.

just another overpaid NBA whiner

Nash can score alright but remember, he doesn't have the ring yet so don't make any comparisons on which player makes his team mates better.

jason kidd is on his way out jefferson is the real leader on that team and he's had enough so the most logical trade for kidd is a three way deal between the nets, Lakers and pacers. it could go something like this on or after december 15 due to trade restrictions

trade name: LAKENETPAC (www.realgm.com : trade checker id - 4330177)

LAKERS GET: j.kidd and n.krstic

NETS GET: j.O'Neal, j.farmar, 2008 round 2 pick (pacers) and 2010 round 2 pick (pacers)

PACERS GET: k.brown, v.radmanovic, c.mihm, 2008 rd 1 pick (Lakers) and 2008 rd 1 pick (nets)

FACT: kidd is a better player than O'Neal however the nets are a better team with O'Neal because the nets need another scorer and someone who can compete with other quality big men in the nba. farmar is on the rise and can easily run the point when he can distribute it to guys like carter and jefferson, all great nba teams need a quality big man to be successful unless you've got a jordan. they also get a lot younger

its a good deal for the lakers because it will keep kobe happy as he wanted kidd anyway and if kobe is happy the Lakers are happy as long as they keep bynum which they will. krstic will take over from kwame and a hell of a lot cheaper. fisher will backup kidd and kobe in the backcourt and while they lose farmar they still have young guards developing like vujacic and crittenton anyway.

the pacers will clear a massive contract 44 million dollars for 2 seasons after this where O'Neal's already on 19 million. they will get expiring contracts kwame and mihm. radmanovic will provide quality off the bench and give the team good flexibility but the important thing is getting 2 first round picks for O'Neal, 3 first round picks in one draft could really set them up
