    I think if we went after Kidd we could get him !!!!
    He would make us a top 3 in the NBA
    Other than Salary , we also have JJ who may not be happy
    but it would really drive this city into a frenzy

    Kidd
    t-mac
    JJ
    JHow
    yao

    If he doesnt pan out then trade him before Yao gets extended !!!

    Yes, if we trade MO-T + Weatherspoon and throw in the trainer for Kidd, it will be "under the cap now".

    so you are not trading Yao, Howard, JJ, or McGrady for him.. How are you getting him in this scenario?

    Let me guess: MoT and the TE? Were you also planning on throwing in Boki?

    I wish there was a way but:

    1) There's nothing we can offer them.
    2) Kidd's contract is too big, we won't be able to move him in 2 seasons. He'll be old, it will show, and he will be one of the highest paid in the NBA. Too much of a risk, it may kill the franchise if he deteriorates - his games is based on speed and that's the first thing to go.

    After getting Kidd, we need to keep taking chances and go after Duncan and Garnett. Duncan can be a decent backup for Yao, and Garnett would do wonder as a backup for Howard.

    Anyone else noticed how horribly off key the guy who does the singing is on this? It is clearly not the same guy who does the national ads (though the voiceover guy seems to be), but, damn, I know a couple hard rock singer guys that could have done a better job than that! :eek:

    It's hilarious nevertheless.

    possibly the same guy but didn't have time to do a whole bunch of takes and remaster the track to make it sound better. i mean... no one live is as good as they are on their CD.

    He will not be worth his contract in a few years. There is no way our owner would pay for him. We have nothing to trade for him. I disagree that his game is based on speed. He is probably the smartest point since uggg....Stockton.

    No, it's a diffent guy. I have always been able to pick out singers and this guy has a different timbre to his voice. Plus, it isn't like the voiceover guy did his part in one take. Maybe he sung badly on purpose.

    We can't even get BBarry, DFisher, or Thudson, I don't think any kind of trade can be done with Nets unless we send them either Yao or Tmac.

    this trade is more realistic than people think. everybody's an expert and quick to criticize ideas on this site though.

    you gotta assume kidd will be demanding a trade. you gotta assume he's going to want to go to a contender. i have come up with these 3 contenders who need pg's still:

    rockets
    lakers
    pacers

    the rockets have been quietly waiting patiently this offseason, letting every other team in the league blow their caps on marginal pgs, and we really havent heard a peep from them. now look who maybe available to fall right into their laps. i am sure some sort of combination of mo t, howard, gaines, lue, nachbar, several future first rounders can be worked out that would be a pretty good deal for the nets. i'm sure yao and tmac would be pretty enticing for kidd to make one last run at a championship with.

    maybe something is brewing. you never know.

    We won't take on Kidd's contract. What will we do in 2 years when it's time for Yao's extension? No one will take him off our hands. Besides, Kidd is most effective when he runs, while JVG and Yao don't WANT to run.

    It's just not a good fit. However, if we could entice them with a package, we should negotiate a 3-eay, and send him to a team that can give us a more suited PG or take some bad contracts from us.
