Here is just a part of an article I read today.
Kidd says so many different things to so many different people, it's hard to gauge how he really feels. Unfortunately for the Nets, he rarely talks to his most trusted allies about staying in Jersey. Just in the last week or so, he was crowing to some of them about the Nets' intentions to try to deal for Garnett. That's a positive sign. But he's also talked about his yearn to return home to play for Golden State, or joining up with Gary Payton in Seattle.

Looking at Jason Kidd's options:
A) Wait for Thorn to make a more to improve this team. Unlikely. No one wants Van Horns soft game or huge contract. No one want an injury prone Kittles. While K-Mart is an eye opener, but only when he throws down a monster dunk.
B) Joining Payton in Seattle as a free agent? Well, the team cannot seem to hammer out a deal for Lewis and has not mentioned extending Payton's contract. This team is on the line and will most likely move toward a rebuilding plan.
C) Wait and join Duncan in San Antonio as a free agent. But will having Duncan be enough to win in the West? Should Kidd join the Spurs, the lineup would look something like this: Kidd, a way past his prime S.Smith, B.Bowen, T.Duncan, and Parks. They may get something for Parker, but if the Spurs move Daniels, then they will be without a backup. Spurs are not even sold that Duncan will resign w/ this team to begin with.
D) Come home as a free agent.
Lineup would be:
Kidd/Logan
R-Rich/Arenas
Dunleavy/J.Welsch
Jamison/Murphy
Foyle/ Hopefully they can sign Wang who is a free agent.
While I'm very optimistic for the Warriors this year, I think they'll miss the playoffs but not by much. Therefore, they'll be in the lottery and pickup another body there. Most likely a C or PF.
Dampier/Fortson/Mills/Sura are all being shopped around for anything: picks, backups, cash, $2 and a biscuit, or a bus pass. Whatever works to get cap room freed up for another superstar. Like Bibby, he'll just have to look at the potential here and will take a little less to gain so much more. Playing at home (Bay Area) and becoming a basketball icon in the Bay Area, and make so much more money w/ endorsements and advertising deals. (Take a page out of MJ's book, he knows where the money is at!)
Just my continuing pursuit to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
