Nets NOT shopping Kidd?
Here's part of an article from Thursday's NYtimes.

The Nets are baffled why Portland's president, Steve Patterson, made comments Tuesday indicating that actual trade talks involving Kidd and Abdur-Rahim had occurred. He was quoted on CBSSportsline.com as saying talks regarding the two players are "interesting, but I don't know if anything will happen."[

LOL. Thanks. Long day at work. Not paying too much attention to how careful I am with the computer.

I hear ya, I have my doubts about this trade, but it could be something of a bigger trade. If nothing else, John Nash is increasing SAR's value now and that isn't going to hurt Portland one bit.

I still think this deal happens but with a different twist with Mouse being added

I would hate to see Portland throw away all their cap room on this deal. I could handle moving Rahim, but Damon's contract I would rather see expire or moved for a player that isn't such a health gamble.

The real puzzler is why Patterson didn't hide behind the usual Blazers mantra of "We don't discuss trades." Was it just a rare moment of candor or was there some purpose behind the comment? Trying to kite the value of Rahim so another team will bite, perhaps?
Inquiring minds want to know.
