Rumor: Jason Kidd for Jason Richardson, Mickael Pietrus, Monta Ellis and Patrick O'Bryant
From Sam Smith for ChicagoSports.com:
The Nets have been rumored to be trading Vince Carter, but some GMs believe now is the time for them to deal Kidd, who will be 34 in March and is due $40 million over the next two seasons.
Some believe the Nets' season is lost with Richard Jefferson and Nenad Krstic out, and Kidd is playing perhaps as well as he ever has, though you wonder if it's to interest teams and get himself away from the personal family mess going on in New Jersey.
Perhaps a career-ending return home to Oakland would be the answer, because the Warriors could put together a good package to rebuild the Nets. Maybe Jason Richardson, Mickael Pietrus, Monta Ellis and rookie Patrick O'Bryant, whom coach Don Nelson last week said he'd like to go to dinner with but wouldn't want to put in a game. Kidd and Baron Davis would be an ideal backcourt for Nelson.

Think Jason Kidd will be sporting one of these jerseys on February 23rd?

Smith is probably just playing around with trade scenarios here and doesn't have any inside scoop on the Warriors actually being interested in pairing up Kidd with BD or the Nets trying to move Kidd, but still it's fun to think about. Kidd is a hall of famer and one of the greatest point guards to play the game. He's one of the few players in this league that the Warriors could move JRich for and not drive Warriors Nation to tears.
Here's what the Warriors starting lineup would look like:
PG: Jason Kidd
PG/SG: Baron Davis
SF: Stephen Jackson
PF: Al Harrington
C: Andris Biedrins
Playoffs?!! That team would do more than just make the playoffs. How far do you think they could go in the mighty West this season with that lineup?

Not to mention...
Kidd is shooting it well now (better than he ever has actually), but his track record shows it probably won't last. And Baron's inconsistent from the perimeter at best. Lack of outside shooting + no inside presence = bad, really bad.

I accept the trade.
PG: Jason Kidd
PG/SG: Baron Davis
SF: Stephen Jackson
PF: Al Harrington
C: Andris Biedrins
Backups:
PG: Sarunas Jasikevicus
SG: Kelenna Azubuike
SF: Matt Barnes
PF: Josh Powell/ Zarko Cabarkapa
C: Adonal Foyle
I say go for it. The Bulls roster was only 8 players deep, you know. If you really look at it, it's not that bad.
Biedrins overpowered? Put in Foyle.
Barnes can fill in for Big Al and Stephen, with Powell or Cabarkapa tapping in a few minutes. And Azubuike/Jasikevicus are more than capable backups.
This trade is better than you guys think. My initial reaction was no, but I've changed my mind after looking at it this way.
YES!

i remember this line from when this site first
When I first read it, it seemed a little interesting.
Since then, there's been about 200+ rumors posted on this site. Not only have more then 99% been false, but only about 10-15% have actually been halfway fun to talk about.

No, no, no
Age is the bottom line. Love Kidd, but he's 34! Realistically he only has 2-3 more Kiddlike seasons left in him, max. Monta just turned 21, Pietrus is 24, and Richardson just turned 26.
Plus, as has been pointed out, the resulting lineup is weird. Baron as shooting guard? Bleccch. A bit down the road, I like the idea of Kidd as crafty veteran backup point guard -slash- sometime mentor for Baron and Monta. I'd give up Pietrus and POB for that. I wouldn't trade Monta or JRich for KIdd straight up.
This is likely the single worst trade ever proposed on the GSoM Main Board. I know you're just passing along some assclown's conjecture, but really, I'd almost prefer you hadn't.

heh..
I personally think Jason Richardson and Baron Davis would be the ideal backcourt for the Warriors and Nelson.
Can anyone think of a trade that could possibly net us these guys?
Damn, I just wish we had JR and BD.

Speak for yourself! I wouldn't trade Jason for Yao Ming even! Kidd? WTF? We've already got a point guard.
