<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Yahoo Sports)</div><div class='quotemain'><u>Europe offers more than vacation to NBA players</u> “In the next four or five years, could I end up playing over there?” Kidd wondered. “Hey, why wouldn’t I play in Italy or somewhere (else)?

Wasn't Marbury supposed to go over next year? Maybe Kidd can go over too and go compete against each other.
Wow. That just seems pretty low for someone who's supposed to be a Hall of Famer. I thought he wanted a championship..?

He won't just leave the Mavs while under contract though. (He is making like 20 mill per year) But year Kidd was talking like 4 years from now.
i'm sure kidd's ex wife took him to the cleaners, so he has to look for his retirement money. Best of luck to him he's earned it

There hasn't even been much speculation or rumours on such a thing.
