    Heard it on the Dan Patrick show this morning. The Lakers and Mavs are the two teams seeking out a trade for Kidd. Sam Smith said the Mavs have more to offer because of Devin Harris, but he said the Lakers do have some interesting pieces. He felt the Lakers could get a deal done for Kidd without giving up Kobe, Bynum, or Odom.</p>

    Sam Smith said Kidd's situation has a lot of parallels to KG's situation in Minnesota. He said New Jersey should have traded Kidd last year and since they didn't agree to an extension the writing is on the wall for him to be traded at some point. He said both Minnesota and New Jersey waited a year too long to make a trade. He feels NJ has peaked with their current trio and they aren't going to get any better while other teams in the East have made significant progress.</p>

    He went on to say Thorn and Frank are on shakey ground in NJ.</p>

    I don't think Dallas could get a deal done if it involved Harris because he's a BYC player and both teams are well over the cap.</p>

    A Possible lineup/rotation of:

    Kidd or Fisher/ Farmar
    Kobe/Ariza/Vujacic
    Walton/Kobe/Ariza
    Odom/Turiaf
    Bynum/Mihm

    Kidd or fisher could be shuffled from bench to starting lineup to sustain their fitness and energy for the playoffs

    i figure Odom is going to be the centerpiece of the trade if we do get Kidd.
