He's good for the regular season but softer than a marshmallow. David West pulled his card in gm 1. So that's Stephan Jackson D Wade and now West. who will be on the list next year Kevin Love. Also to be honest you guys weren't doing anything with or without kidd. The best thing to happen to the nets in a long while might be gone but the highlight of the Mavs will be being up 2 games and losing in the finals. Winning 67 games and a player win MVP to lose in the first round to an 8th seed team. The Nets at least made it back to finals. Too bad u guys can't say that but hey the way the west is going Thorn might not be the only GM with his team out of the playoffs. You guys hardly made it.
Kidd led the league in fake migraines and unwanted crotch grabs, too, but none of those things would help the Nets beat the Celtics even once in a playoff series.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (insider @ Apr 22 2008, 10:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Go on and continue to "kidd" yourself that your happy that Kidd is gone.</div> Are you a Mavs fan or a Kidd Fan? It really befuddles me in wondering where your loyalties actually lie, as Kidd pulled some rotten things in Dallas his first time around. And why in the world would you think that people (fans) that are DEVOTED to their team would not be happy that a player that no longer wants to play for them is finally sent away? You really think that we should've been happy this year with the way things were going with him? Are you saying that we should have been happy to keep an unhappy player on this team? Are you a friggin idiot? "YAY, I just want my best player to absolutely despise playing here!!" You're an absolute moron to even think that a person that follows this team first and foremost would be happy to keep a player like that, no matter how good is or was... or even for that matter what he had done for this team. I bet you that an overwhelming majority of Nets fans appreciate what Jason did for the team the first few years here when we were in top 5 best teams in the East. But does that mean we have to sit here and say "GOODY!" when he says he wants to leave!! Don't you understand that we HAVE to be happy that he leaves“ You are WAY too simple-minded to distinguish between ANGER about him wanting to leave, and HAPPINESS when we finally got rid of a player that doesn't want to be here. You think any fan of a team in his right mind would want to have a player that doesn't want to be there? You must be totally illiterate. I would make a bet that you weren't even born in this country judging by your blatant inability to read, and as a matter of fact the overly simplistic usage of your writing. Go back to your little hole and those little sexual fantasies you have that include Dirk and Jason. As a lifelong Nets fan, you better believe that I am PISSED off to no end on how this season ended up. And you better believe that Jason Kidd was a major reason for it. I hope Jason F-Up's your post-season just like he did to our regular season.
Petro's serious. To answer the simple question of the thread: I'm going with the Hornets. I believe Scott has paid his dues as a coach, and has some amazing talent on his roster that he knows how to work with. As a Net fan, I say thank you Kidd for the glory days part 2 (the first being the ABA team) but let's face it, also as a Net fan I care about the CURRENT ROSTER of the Nets, in which Kidd is not part of. The "glory days" are long gone. There will be another chapter though, you can count on it. And Jason Kidd won't be a part of it and hell, maybe none of the guys on the current roster will be either. A disappointing season it was, but next season will be more exciting than this season for various reasons. Can't wait. As tough as this year was, it's great to be a Nets fan.
The funny part about all of this is if you watch Dallas now they look exactly like the Nets did earlier this year. I wonder how many times they've been down 20 since they acquired Kidd? While the Nets didn't seem to be down 20 by half time or down 20 all that much at all once Kidd was traded.
I am new here. I am for Scott. Kidd is one of my favorite players, but Scott has gotten Paul motivated enough to take out Scott's enemy. That is some serious influence. Maybe if kidd listen to scott, he would have had a title. Instead Kidd wanted an idiot as a coach.

Kidd strongly attempted to use his impending Free Agency to get Scott fired and Jordan hired. Thorn kept putting him off and once Jordan accepted the position in Washington, Kidd relented. However, Kidd never truly stopped in his desire to see Scott gone.
