ATLANTA - For the first time in a Nets uniform, Jason Kidd questioned his teammates effort, called them out for their performance. Speaking in restrained and calm tones - while insisting he wasn't upset - Kidd after wasting the 50th triple double of his career said there "was no effort at all" and stressed disappointment following the Nets' bitter 97-92 defeat to the go-nowhere-in-a-hurry Hawks here last night. The setback dropped the Nets into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference with Detroit, but it was a damaging loss because the Pistons hold the tie-breaker edge. That Spurs uniform is looking real good right about now for Jason Kidd.

I don't see any reason for the Spurs to sign Jason Kidd and risk alienating Tony Parker. . . JKidd is 30 and only getting older, TP is like 21? and getting better every game he plays.
but who cares about tony parker if u can get kidd? parkers great but when u have a chance to land a guy who can almost gaurentee a championship to your team. u go for it. who CARES how alienated tony parker gets. and yes i thinik the nets will lose the first round of the playofffs to the magic or celtics if philly overtakes the division
It would be a waste of great talent if the Spurs got Kidd, when u have Tony Parker you dont need another good point guard. When Parker gets better, the spurs get better.
but when u have the chance to get kidd and if u get him parker becomes expendable. u can trade for a better player or put him on the bench. there have been p.enty of great bench players in the NBA. u need players like that on the bench to win championships. trust me, tony parkers feelings are going to have very little impact on whether or not the spurs sign kidd
I feel We aren't getting kidd now...parker has impressed and is going to be the starting PG for a long time...the plan is to go after jermaine o'neal and the kandiman...to replace d-rob.
