<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Dumpy)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> it doesn't matter. I'm convinced the nets are actively trying to deal him. The point of "leaking" that Kidd intentionally sat out the Knicks game was to signal that they would listen to offers, but weren't going to give him away (since the company line was "we believe him"). They're getting offers right now. The question is whether they'll get a good one.</p> </div></p> They have been trying to deal him for two years. It's not even a secret.</p> He's getting older and more expensive, and the teams that it makes sense for him to go to have dwindled to very few.</p> This is Thorn's fault.</p> </p> </p>

It's about the name on the front right?! It doesn't matter who's on the team right? If Kidd wants out, it's not only because the team is falling apart, but what you so-called fans have become. How quickly you have forgotten, that the guy your going against, brought this lottery team to 2 NBA FINALS appearances. That this "off the court mess" has carried this team to the playoffs every single year he has been with the team. Have you forgotten how he could have left this team to play with Duncan in San Antonio where he could have gotten his ring? Why is that? Oh yeah, he wanted to win a ring with THE NETS! For all you hypocrites, IT IS ABOUT THE NAME ON THE BACK, AND IT SAYS KIDD!!!</div></p> </p> oh don't get twisted now. He sign with the Nets the same reason Zo did. The Mavericks offer Zo a contract too but as what was later confirmed he only sign with the Nets because he believe it was easier gettin to Finals through the east.

Here he will go down as the savior. The person who resurrected the Nets. That would not happen on the Spurs. A team that was already two championships deep. He would later comment in Slam that he would never want to piggy back on another star team. When they asked him what they thought about Payton signing with the Lakers.</p> You must never have read my post. My opinions have always been the same since day one. I never believe the way this team is currently constructed is enough to win a chip. Since you are using my terms I will assume you are talking to me and where have I said I want equal value or anything. Me I rather we rebuild. Honestly we will not be able to compete for a long time for a ring.</p> As I said I don't care about the name on the back. This is a team. The only name I care about is the name on the front. The Nets don't need superstars for me to like them. They don't need to make the playoffs. They are one of the worst teams in the NBA and I still love this team.</p> The same way I felt about Zo I will feel about Kidd. You don't want to be here no more okay peace. I'll play G.C. Cameron and we can do Cooley High "it's so hard to say goodbye".</p> As much as kidd has done for this team and organzation. They have done alot to keep him happy.</p> but if the nets feel they shouldn't pay a 37 year old player that much I'll agree.</p> </p> </div></p> </p> So you'd rather have a losing team than deal with a star players issues? If so, then don't give a damn about trades, drafts or anything concerning the team's roster. It's not about the name on the back anyway right? And oh, FYI, San Antonio wanted Kidd not the other way around. About getting to the finals is easier in the East, true, but it's not like the Spurs where just an average team back then not to go deep in the playoffs.

You never see me saying what we should get back for kidd or anything. If he don't want to be here ship his ass. I don't deal with bullshit in my life.

I see that the same way as men who deal with women cheating on them or treating them like shit because of how they look.</p> I don't like or deal with bullshit. Seems like you do though. As long as you get your couple wins and second round playoff victories. Now if we were winning championships or making final appearences maybe I can deal with..... HELL NO.</p> No. Kidd went on to blame Tony Parker rant as the reason why he didn't go to the Spurs and Pop was very pissed at him. Till it was later reveal Kidd was never serious about leaving the Nets for the Spurs. Google it.</p> So you can call people hypocrites and all other names but don't be upset because your tolerence for bullshit and drama is higher than ours. Also your logic is the reason why we have teams liked the Lakers who try to please one player instead of doing what's best for the team.</p> That why the Spurs win championships and have players who gladly sign contracts to keep them under the cap.</p> Duncan four championships no drama. no coach firing. no wife drama. no dreaming of playing with other players. Oh only played for one team too.</p> Who logic is twisted. You'll take all the drama from the player and the result is another second round lost. Yea it's not worth it.</p> </p> edit: I gotta go out tonight so I won't be able to response till tomorrow. So god bless.</p> </p>
