You guys are overreacting to a silly Sports Illustrated article!! The article was about Kidd and Lebron. Did you really expect Kidd to speak negatively about Lebron in a stupid article that was all about the greatness of Lebron??? Get a grip, people. Kidd is allowed to vent, allowed to talk about other good players, etc, without the fans all saying "OMG Kidd wants out?!?!"

Ever think that maybe he wants Lebron to come HERE? You know there are tampering rules in the NBA right? Kidd can't tell Sports Illustrated that he wants Lebron to come to NJ. He would get fined. Remember when he said he wanted McDyess on his team? That was a No-No. And there was no direct quote from Kidd saying he wanted to go to Cleveland. For all we know, the writer could have made that completely up. And if he actually did want to go to Cleveland WHO CARES?!? This isn't the first time the National media has tried to claim that Kidd wanted to go somewhere... to Houston to play with McGrady, to Minny to play with Garnett. Who cares? There are always unrealistic scenarios, scenarios he usually forgets about when the Nets start winning or the other team starts stinking. You don't hear Kidd ever talking about 1st-round-exit-every-year McGrady anymore (I don't know if he ever did talk about that. Ric Bucher invented that one.)

Kidd plays his butt off on the Nets. We don't owe him anything (the Nets have done as much for him as Kidd's done for the Nets). These guys' egos lead them to believe they are owed titles. Nobody is owed anything. The Nets have a lot of potential. We have a great combination of older guys and younger guys, in my opinion. A lot of teams around the league are getting really old. I don't care if you don't want to use the injuries to our starters as an excuse, but I think it's a great excuse. We've only lost 3 games with Carter playing... and Krstic is still nowhere to be found. It would also be nice to have a healthy backup PG who is not NBDL. (No offense, Gill. You are playing ok)
