The first order of business that Rod Thorn has to do this summer is to dump Jason Kidd. That's a must IMO. It's time to dump him and get something good while his value is up. There are couple of teams that can use a Jason Kidd. Denver could use him to get them over the hump in the first round. Denver got some good young players that they can deal in Nene and Andre Miller. That's a good deal for both sides. Nets get younger with those two and Denver can get a veteran that can be a good leader to Carmelo Anthony. Most importantly, Jason would be happy. San Antonio would be a good destination too for Kidd and the Nets can benefit with Tony Parker. Plus it gives the Nets exposure with Tony Parker as Tony's girlfriend, Eva Longeria would make the trek to NJ. I think the Nets can still be a contender in the East if they get something good in return for Kidd.
There is no reason for Kidd to be here. It's time for him and the organization to move on. Nets got the best out of Jason Kidd and they would be hard-pressed to expect more. Kidd did not have a great year IMO this year and it clearly showed in the playoffs. His knees are not very good. He is running like he is 60 years old as you saw in the playoffs. You know the saying about how it's better to trade a player now before it's too late. Well Kidd can't be keeping this up for long not with that knees. Rod Thorn has gotta be fed up with Kidd's act. I know I would. Kidd's act has been tiring since he came here. First, he whined and moaned about coming here which he wasn't happy. Second, he whined about the state of NJ and how tough is it to love there. Third, he talked about going to the Spurs a lot in his free agent year. This year, he has whined and moaned about management from training camp to off-season to the season and now after the game. How much can management take? As great as a player Kidd is, this guy is a bad human being. There is a reason why he has been traded a lot in his career. These teams are just tired of his act. He got lot of coaches fired over the years including Byron Scott. He is just a jackass behind the scenes. I know he is pretty rude to the fans here. The guy has become a poison. When everything is great, Jason is great, but when everything goes bad, you find out someone's character and sadly Jason's character is exposed.
Jason is a bad influence IMO and there is no reason to bring him back here anymore. This team went as far as they could with him and this team should try to get something out of him before his trade value goes really down. Nets do no need the trouble anymore. They can be out of the first round with or without him next year.
