But any trade that gets rid of Kidd without at least getting some sort of player with potential is a horrible trade. If I had even the slightest say, the only way I'd ever make a trade with Portland that gives up Kidd without getting back at least Telfair in addition to an expiring contract is if I was convinced that Kidd's injury is going to forever make him 1/10th the player that he was.
If Kidd comes back he's obviously worth more than just an expiring contact.
... however on a side note: if the trade does get us Abdur-Rahim for Kidd I'd look to ship Abdur-Rahim somewhere else for another expiring contract + incentive, ie what the Hawks did with Rasheed Wallace last night. No sense in having a talented expiring contract if its decided we're already tanking the year.
