It would be a stupid move for Kidd to do that. I love Europe (thats where I'm from) but Kidd needs to retire after his NBA career is over. Don't become another Favre.

There will still be a salary cap based in us dollars to keep an even playing field. The only other option would be if the NBA created a completely separate Euro league but Stern wouldn't do that becuase it would just dilute the player pool too much in both leagues. It's one thing for a few players to go there but is another for a whole league of NBA quality players to go.
