Well getting Jason really made the team fun to watch initially, although I was a kid who went to Suns games, not Nets games, before he was brought over. Recently, you could say that trading Kidd will make us fun to watch in the sense that our loses won't be disappointing. Just as long as there's progression, I should be able to watch a game without pulling my hair out. Or thinking about putting my pants back on.

Get whatever you can and move on.</div> As a Raptors fan, I can testify to how annoying that argument is.

I don't see what's changed. Kidd has been available for two years and the Nets have been actively trying to trade him for more than a year now.
seriously though if the Nets let Kidd play tomorrow after this the whole organization are punks. No way does a player come out said he doesn't want to be hear and still suits up. Sit his ass at home. Do what Philly did to Iverson.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Marcus can do given 30 minutes.
What are the chances he gets traded before tomorrow's game? Not likely. He might play hard in order to impress some more teams.
There is still no reason this team can't make the playoffs this year. I'm kinda of looking forward to a shakeup of any sorts.

As a team member it's gotta suck knowing your best player thinks his teammates suck and the whole thing is unsalvagable to the point he wants out. As pissed off as I am I think most of us have been on a job where we just got disgusted with the whole environment and needed a change. It's all obnoxious and understandable at once. Except he has the ability and position to try and change things for the better on that team. **** him... call the Lakers. Odom, Brown, Farmar and a pick for Kidd, Magloire and Allen.

Jason already has teams bidding for him. They know from his history what he can do. If this was VC yea maybe he would have to go out there and prove he still has it or is still a star but Kidd doesn't. Also if he is traded what does a few wins do any way??? This team will already be on the road of rebuilding. Let's just make it official and this organization show that they at least have some balls. The Nets have been Jason's bitch for how long. Putting up with his crying demands coaching changes player changes making us sign Zo and all the Wife drama. If the Nets put up with this right here and allow Kidd to play then we already know they will get royal fucked in a deal.

Teams may think they can screw us in a deal, but if management publicly say they are prepared to have him sit for the rest of the year then no one will try screwing around too much. Could you imagine sitting a guy for the remainder of the season that was voted to start in the All-Star game? Ouch.
2 things. Make sure to trade Collins with him in any Kidd trade. I'm sure it'll probably piss him off to have to continue playing with the stiff. 2nd, i wouldn't mind letting kidd stay home the rest of the season even if he's not traded by the deadline. I want to see what marcus can do. We stink now anyway, let's at least see what marcus can do in extended minutes and at the worst, we play for a good draft pick.
kidd, collins and carter must go. thanks alot bald guys and tree trunk but you guys suck and we dont need you anymore
Kidd's a drama queen. The nets are currently tied for 8th in the Eastern Conference. Stringing together a 7-8 winning streak could get the nets enough momentum to climb as high as the 4th seed. With the west, there are currently 10 teams on pace to win 46 games and you could potentially end up on a team that wins 52 games and fails to get home court advantage. If Jason Kidd really put maximum effort into his performance, instead of the indifference he has shown over the past month, the Nets would be in a considerably better shape. Throw in a rehabilitated Krstic who returns to even 75% of the potential flashed before his ACL tear, and the nets are a contender in the conference. Granted the Nets may end up with another second round exit, but short of landing on the Mavericks, Suns, or Spurs, Kidd wouldn't get out of the first round in the West.

Carter is here for at least the rest of the season, RJ isn't going anywhere.
