this isnt the first time he's pulled this act. you cant really deny it now that he wants to be traded. you could sense it last year but he held on but it seems as if he's ready to pack and move on. he did the same thing in 05-06 i beleive. jason is a primadonna who needs to have everything go his way or he gets moody. IMO, this team owes him nothing. did he save the nets from cellar dwellar to finals contender? yes, cant deny that but he's on the decline as is this poorly constructed team. would do you feel about him now?</p>

He's a great player. Will be going to the hall of fame when all is said and done. He turned the franchise around and took them from a league wide laughing stock to the finals. He goes out there and plays hard, and when his game is on, it's a thing of beauty. And because of that, I've wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt a lot of times when things along these lines have come up.</p> With that being said...this little hissy fit (assuming it's true) is total bullshit. Just grow up.</p>
If he indeed is asking for a trade and didn't play because he was on strike, then I don't have any respect for him. This shows you if he really loves the game or not.</p>
i think he's gown disinterested in the game. he wnats to run and play a free, open minded style but it's like he bogged down. as soon as Kenyon went,I think that was the last of kidd's moral. he just wants the money now</p>

The best thing that could ever happen is that Kidd declares himself healthy for the next game, participates in the shootaround, walks on the court for handshakes before the game and Frank pulls him out right before the tip and proceeds to give him a nice DNP-CD.</p> I think I might die of happiness if that happens.</p>
My opinion hasn't changed, as I wanted Kidd traded a few years ago. He is an incredible player, the most important on the team, but he needed to be elsewhere.</p> Kidd and Vince once had much greater trade value and Thorn screwed up. Until Brooklyn, the Nets needed to adopt the Billy Beane stratgey of if you look down and it is time to rebuild, then you are already too late.</p>

Depressing that Kidd wants to leave, but depressing also with realizing how unreasonable Kidd is. We all put him on a pedestal and this is what he gives us back... The Nets lost so much money/time/effort with Zo...and that is mostly Kidd's fault...
I wouldn't mind a trade now. If he isn't happy we might as well get something decent back and he deserves atleast a better shot at a ring.</p> Still would be pretty sucky.</p>
