Not necessarily true. Kidd's situation is quite different from KMart's, who was a RFA, and Kittles, who nobody wanted. When Kidd is put on the blocks, several teams will come up with good offers that not only includes expiring contracts but also at least one young and talented player plus perhaps a draft pick or two. Also, the Nets will try to use Kidd and make other teams take Zo's contract off their book. Kidd's value will be drove up by competitions, espeically if he comes back healthy.

You really think there is a big market to absorb Kidd's contract? You truly overestimate Kidd's value after his injuries and poor playoff performance. The luster is off. Only teams that are ready to compete for a title and are willing to spend some money. Then you have add the fact that the Nets don't really want any long term contracts in return. There are few teams that he will fit with...
Lakers for expiring contracts and draft picks.
Dallas for Walker/Howard
Indy but they would probably want to give Croshere
Miami for Eddie Jones
Boston with Ricky and/or Raef leaving
Denver might do Andre/Leonard/Skita but I doubt they give up Nene
Golden State might do JRich/Speedy and expiring contracts
Houston would be happy to give them MoT
New Orleans is looking to get rid of Monster Mash but NJ ain't taking him
Portland will give up Mighty Mouse and maybe SAR
Seattle might give them Ray Allen but I don't see that
Toronto might give up Carter if NJ threw in some picks and Carter goes public
Some of those deals are more realistic than others. If they could get Denver to give up Dre Miller that might be good for both teams.
I doubt that NJ gets that kind of value for Jason Kidd.
