<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Though . . . .not really. Q. So what happens if the deadline passes and you're still in Jersey - you going to go mental? A. "No, for me, it's just a matter of winning, and trying for everyone to get better. Again, everything takes care of itself. Being here or not being here -- it will all take care of itself at some point. The nice thing is by Feb. 20 you'll know." Q. You think Rod wants to give you what you want? A. "That's up to management. They dangled me out there last year. What happens, happens. That's just the business of basketball. So, I mean, we shall see." Q. He could conclude that keeping you is best for the team. A. "Yeah, that's one scenario." Q. How do you like the rumor season so far? A. "I have no idea what's on the table, what's being talked about. There's so much flying around. Until something happens. . . .I don't know what's going on." And so on. The rest was all the I-just-wanna-help-the-team stuff, all very inspirational.</div> http://blog.nj.com/netsblast/2008/02/kidd_speaks.html
Collins got some media attention, too <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Memphis wouldn't be your first choice exactly, someone suggested. "I can't comment on that."</div> I kind of feel bad for the guy. I mean he sucks, sure, but he's been a big part of Nets culture for the past couple of years. It's like punishing your autistic son for kicking the cat, you just feel bad because he doesn't know any better.
