    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>No, I'm not suggesting that Cassell is superior to Kidd. It's just that despite the rash of rumors that have Kidd going anywhere from Cleveland to Dallas to Los Angeles, I remain steadfast in the belief that Kidd isn't going anywhere.

    "Trades don't grow on trees," a veteran Eastern Conference assistant coach told me recently. "And when you are talking about a Jason Kidd, more likely than not the talks won't lead to anything."</div>

    Oh yea, no doubt, his contract is expiring, 6 million, and wants to end it under Karl. If you're someone like Dallas do you empty out half yor roster for Kidd, or dump a couple of expiring deals and maybe Bass for Cassell? At 15 minutes a night, allows Jet to focus on the 2 guard spot, rather than playmake.

    Well, if this is the case....I'd expect a trade soon after Cassell goes somewhere.

    Only because of the money situation which is why we should buy out Kidd and do a smaller trade for that team.

    Make Kidd only go to that team like the Bulls did to Tim Thomas.

    Idk...not just the money. Add in the fact that Cassell's a better shooter, and comes through in the clutch... [​IMG]

    Beantown, GS, Denver are all the most likely scenarios I could see right now. I hear Denver's the frontrunner, with Karl and the need for a point guard (who can shoot).
