Rumor: Jason Kidd Not Going to the Warriors

by Atma Brother ONE on Feb 21, 2007 9:17 AM PST in Rumors

From Dave D'Allessandro of NJ.com:

As for specific proposals that have been floating around, Thorn wouldn't comment directly, but members of the organization insist he has never given any serious consideration to the spare parts the Lakers were offering him for Kidd, and that the rumored deal involving Golden State "has no life whatsoever," according to one employee who asked not to be identified because the person was not authorized to discuss talks publicly.

Also, it looks like JKidd would rather be a LA Faker than a Warrior (from Marc Stein of ESPN.com):

Sources close to the situation say Kidd never asked Nets owner Bruce Ratner to trade him. But Kidd got excited, I'm told, when informed that the teams were talking and that a move to the Lakers was a possibility.

Kidd did not respond with the same excitement, sources say, when word leaked of possible interest from his hometown Golden State Warriors. He apparently isn't itching to leave Jersey unless it's clearly a more attractive situation.

It's likewise believed that the Nets will take Kidd's wishes into account to some degree after he chose to re-sign with them in the summer of 2003 despite strong interest from San Antonio.

This year's NBA tradeline is tomorrow at 3pm EST, but it's been relatively quiet around the league as far as trade rumors for this time of the year. This is partly due to the fact that Allen Iverson has already been moved and the Warriors and Pacers have already pulled off a blockbuster:

Maybe it's a good thing for the Warriors that it's fairly quiet since they seem to stealthily pull off trades when you least expect it. In other words, FREE KG!

Do you think the Warriors will pull off another trade by tomorrow's trade deadline?

99% of rumors never happen, but 99% of them are fun to talk about!

Uhhh...

I'm pretty optimistic that something will happen. Otherwise I don't think POB woulda been called up. But who knows, I'm probably incorrect.

If you take a look out of your windows, you can now see Dallas, TX. Quite the site, no?

hmm

pob was probably called back up to back up biendrins? I doubt they are already goin to trade him after like 6 months of being with don nelson. As good as Kidd is I rather not have him because hes too old to be the future of this team. He is like 6 years older than baron. Plus is smoking hot wife wont be at the games.

Oh?

They are already using Foyle to back up Biedrins. Why change now? It's not like POB is better than Foyle, if that was the case he wouldnt have never been sent down.

I wouldn't want Kidd

Too old to be part of a legitimate Warriors team (unless all you ever hope for from this franchise is an 8th seed. Then he's perfect for the next couple seasons.)
