Jason Kidd, team player.

[hockeybeat]

According to the NY Post, Kidd may have called in sick before last night's loss in an effort to work out a contract extension or a trade away from Exit 16W.

I'm not sure you could field a team of players more reprehensible than Kidd.

hey ****forbrains, if you wanted to win a title, you would have signed with the Spurs for a few million less. Oh yeah. But then you wouldn't have max money and then you wouldn't be the center of attention and the entire organization wouldn't live in abject fear of upsetting you and Joumana.

What a turd. Hope the Nets keep him and his pounding head for the duration.

Nets should trade him to the Knicks.

You have seen the Knicks, yes?

Cuban is losing patience with Devin Harris. Kidd may well be a Maverick for a second time.

Yes .... really. (he he he he he he)

Unless its for a bargain basement price, that'd be damn foolish. Kidd's in his 14th season and has a TON of mileage. In the entire history of the NBA there's only been one point guard who was able to keep playing at an elite level after 14 seasons (Stockton) and I wouldn't bet on Kidd being the second.

OK but keep Toni Braxton away from the arena.

Amazing thing is every NY area paper has this story this morning except the NY Times... They had Beck and George Vecsey at the game and both used the "migraine" excuse.

 

[Double Down]

Somebody should smack Kidd around, see if that cures his migrane.

According to Wojnarowski, Kidd wants to play with another star (and here ole Vince Carter thought he already was) and his preferred destination is the Lebron James Cavaliers.

According to Wojnarowski, Kidd only wants the chance to play with a star (and here ole Vince Carter thought he already was) and his preferred destination is the Lebron James Cavaliers.

Yeah, Carter's not a star? What about Richard Jefferson, who's averaging 26 points per game this season and by all accounts is only going to improve? What a moron (Kidd, not you :-D )

 

[spnited]

Strange how Yahoo slaps "Exclusive" on that and Woj writes "told Yahoo Sports" when the New York Post, The Record and The Star-Ledger all had this on their websites well before Woj did.
I was told by someone at the Meadowlands last night that Woj didn't even get a whiff of this until after the game while most of the beat guys (how the Times missed it, I'll never know) we running this down during the game.

But it's a Yahoo exclusive.

BYH has it right. Kidd could have joined the Spurs as a free agent a few years ago but chose to re-sign with the Nets because they could pay him more. He chose the check over the championship, so now he has to deal with it. Screw him.

 

[hockeybeat]

A ''hurt" Kidd went on Mike and The Mad Dog today to refute the story.

Nice try, Jason... liar

 

[Pancamo]

Did Joemomma take him to the cleaners in the divorce?

The guys has played his ass off for that team for the past six years. I have no idea what happened with respect to yesterday's game, but he doesn't seem the type to do that.

It's clear that he's frustrated because their 4 and 5s are the horrible (with the exception of Williams) and they have no chance at competeing. Kristic has been awful, Collins is the only one who defends but he can't score and Williams isn't strong enough.

"I would never abuse the game of basketball," Kidd said.

yeah. he saves that for women.

 

[BYH]

Nice try, Jason... liar

How about this quote?

"I am blessed to have the contract that I have," Kidd insisted. "There's been a lot of speculation about the extension and all this other stuff. That's just the business of basketball and...I have nothing to do with that. For me, (the goal is) to go out and win as many games as possible before the playoffs start. That's what I'm trying to do."

"The business of basketball and...I have nothing to do with that" = I pay my agent to demand trades and to call in sick on my behalf

Piece of ****.

 

[Webster]

BYH, how do you know that he was lying? He very well could be, but how are you so sure?
