    Courtesy of NetsDaily: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In a profile of the league’s “elder statesmen”, Ian Thomsen of Sports Illustrated devotes the most time to Jason Kidd, who he sees as the game’s most effective older player. Kidd tells Thomsen that if he has indeed lost a step–and he stubbornly will not stipulate that–it’s all for the better: He can see the floor better now. He also notes that John Stockton was still effective at 41 and could have played longer…hint, hint.</div>

    This bothers me. If it's "all for the better" and helping his game, then what's up with this:
    Ranks #4 in the NBA in Turnovers Per Game(3.71)

    That doesn't come from a guy who is so under control, and able to see the floor sooo much better.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"Let's get out and run,'' he said. "I sometimes get disappointed when I get taken out of the game. I know it's a long season, but if I take care of myself and do all the right things, I still feel that I can play 40 minutes. As much as my agent or other people might say, 'We need to rest him for the end of the season,' I think I can find time to rest on my own.''</div>
    I'm wondering from the above quote if Kidd actually orders Frank to put him in, and that's why he plays so many minutes. I wouldn't be surprised.

    it would be great if we had an open offensive game with kidd,carter,rj,sean,boone. hopefully this lineup stays or they play majority of the game together because this is the lineup that can run with kidd. well carter runs to the 3pt line, so replace him with wright or boki and that would be fun to see. an up and down, run n gun team because we know we dont play defense.

    lol, the funny part is that you probably messed up what he said.
