    New York Post: "Yes, Jason Kidd said, he would consider playing in Boston if he thought he could win a title. And he'd think about it because friend Danny Ainge is the new executive director of basketball operations."

    I don't know how the Celtics would be able to sign him. But if they can find a sucker to take Baker they might have a chance. Kidd-Pierce-Walker will be tough to beat in the East.

    taking into account his latest troubles, if the celtics can find anyone to take vin baker it will be the single greatest masterstroke of a trade in the history of basketball [​IMG]

    NO WAY

    would kidd go to boston...their fans call him wife beater every time he plays there...insults his son and his wife...why should he go there? he is just wighting his options and being a nice guy when people ask him where he could go...he still has a better chance at a title in NJ than boston anyway..

    not nessecarily. Pierce and Walker are laready a much better duo than anyone the Nets have and if Kidd made them RUN Pierce would win a scoring title and all the roleplayers would suddenly become respectable. im sure Kidd has nothing against boston. u cant get that mad at them for chanting wife beater. i mean, he beat his wife. they didnt even invent the chant Phoenix did when kidd beat the crap out of his wife. I dont think its going to happen. baker has them handcuffed but Danny ainge has pulled off miracles before. well see if he can do them off the court as well as he once did on the court

    where did the celtics-kidd thing come from? if anything, kidd is going to go to the spurs. the way they are playing, having kidd at shooting guard might help. with speedy and tony and kidd at point, they are invincible.

    Kidd is not what they need, they already have one of the top 5 pg's in the league, he is young and still improving and they have much bigger needs.

    Adding Jermaine O'neal would be a better idea.

    Even adding Lamar Odom and PJ Brown would be more helpful than adding Kidd.

    he would go to boston. he would go to toronto. he would go to friggin madagascar if thats where the best deal was. It all rests on M-O-N-E-Y!! The Nets would be foolish to waste theirs on him, even with Jason Kidd they still cant develope a real fanbase. i mean...not selling out playoff games??? that team should be moved. Kidd will most likely end up in Oakland, Utah or of course san antonio (even if they sign jermaine)

Kidd would never want to go to Boston, he is just being a nice person and answering the media's questions in a positive way. Hell, even the sports reporters hate him in Boston. I wish he would come to Memphis. If he did then I would by season tickets in the front row. [​IMG]

I am a part of the "Jason Kidd fanbase" and I live all the way in Memphis. I know at least thirty people who live in Jersey who can't afford Nets tickets all the time, but they are HUGE Kidd fans. Kidd is not all about the money either. You act like he is a piece of trash when he has been better than both Pierce and Walker every year of their career. He could have had a lot more money than he is making when he signed on with the Suns, but money is not important to him. He doesn't need the MAX and a seven year deal, but he will probably get it, and Boston isn't only the team who can offer it. Infact, Boston can't even offer it. Boston is the twenty-nineth team on his list because of people like you. Are you just mad because he MURDERED the Celtics for the second straight season?

    [​IMG] jeez someone woke up on the wrong side of the dumpster today. I dont hate Jason Kidd. Ive said more times than anyone hes the most valueble player in the league. The nets are about to go to the finasls cause of him. without him theyll be a last place team. I dont hate kidd. I dont go to games to chant things at peope. All I said was you cant get mad at people for chanting at him because he BEAT HIS WIFE!! a bunch of good PR doesnt change that. he beat the crap out of her and i can understand people not wanting to forgive that. its why he ahd to leave phoenix. and I never said hes going to boston. they probably cant offer enough money but he would have a great chance to win it all if he went to boston. he could also in memphis or golden state. so great. you know 30 net fans. thats still about 19, 960 short of selling out the cont. They have a TERRIBLE fan base. its one thing not to sell out regular season games but PLAYOFF GAMES?? when your team just went to the finals???? thats inexcuseable. dont try to make it an economics issue because if the nets had as many fans as a real franchise then there would be ENOUGH people with the money to be tickets to at least sell out playof games. its pathetic. kidd is gonna go somewhere he can
    A. win the championship he deserves
    B. make big moeny
    C. have a formidable fan base who will pack the stadium and make it rock.
    all these things ecxept maybe the money he cant have in jersey

    In a recent interview kidd said

    "if if i had to bet..i will be playing in new jersey next season"

    Boston would be the worst possible place for him to go..more so for his wife and son

    why would it be bad for his wife and son?? joumana kidd has said she likes boston and its fans. you cant honestly think theyd be in DANGER cause of a stupid basketball rivalry. boston is a great place to live with a few nice surrounding towns for a weathy family like the kidds.

    i know what kidd said but athletes lie about that stuff all the time. he jsut wants to give hope to the jersey fans before he leaves. Hes said NUMEROUS times all the other places hed love to play. hes said many times how thrilled hed be playing in his home in oakland. theres just too many chips going against him signing there

    If kidd wants to play infront of fans and have a great shot at the title...he should come to detroit..we have the best number of fans in the league...we fill out the palace every game..and if kidd wants to play with maybe bosh,melo or whoever we get....he should come here..and we don't shout wife beater either...thats just shown no class when fans do that
