just heard it on the FAN, no idea if there's any validity to it.....who knows, maybe 3 team deal, nets give kidd, get o'neal, and the 3rd team chips in too.......we'll find out soon enough

I'd like it for NJ..they're going to have to keep Carter, I don't think they can trade him AND Kidd, so they might as well keep trying to win now..JO hasn't been a great player in a minute, but a change of scenery might do him well..

Anymore details on this?

doesn't make much sense to me.

if he was going to buy a house, wouldn't he wait till he was officially traded?

this sounds like b.s. to me.

Don't believe it..........

Kidd wouldn't go to Indiana.

Which works out perfectly because we already have a point guard who can't shoot. And he's not 35, massively overpaid, or a wife beater, either.

But anyways......the thought is of some sort of three-team deal in the works. Kidd goes to the mysterious 3rd team, J.O. to Jersey, and the mysterious 3rd team sending something to Indy.

I'm not saying I believe it, just throwing it out there.

If Jason Kidd is massively overpaid, so is 99% of the league.

Sure he's shooting 37%, but he's still one hell of a point guard. 11/8/10 is nothing to complain about.

Grant Hill was spotted house hunting in the Orlando area before the All Star break during his last season as a Piston.

Just want to point out, it doesn't matter where Kidd wants to go, he's going to get traded most likely, but the Nets Gm just wants the best deal, doesn't matter if its from a contender or not.

I'm pretty sure I heard this rumor in the summer as well. Maybe it got brought up again.

Yeah and Elvis was seen in Kalamazoo.

I wish I had a dime for every time I heard that a player or coach was house hunting in another city.

I saw a moving van in front of JO's house with a sign on the truck that read "New Jersey or bust, GO NETS." :roll:

Too bad that same "point guard" loves to chuck up ill-advised shots, can't run an offense, has never been accused of playing defense, and is bad for team chemistry.

He also has a penchant for getting in trouble with the law.

Did I mention that Jamaal Tinsley sucks?

Sorry I just don't like Tinman =/ if you saw that one game against the Suns you'd know exactly what I'm talking about...

He basically epitomizes all of the worst things in basketball.

i'm a pacer fan - i assume you're speaking of the game this year in phoenix. i know exactly what you're talking about. i was yikes-ing over your taking the "jason kidd sucks" bait from a guy that signed up 7 days ago. jamaal tinsley doesn't suck but he certainly isn't a jason kidd even at his current state.

i don't defend mel-mel much, but when tinsley is at his best (as he was for november and december) the way he runs an offense can be a thing of beauty. the problem is you only get that player 50% of the time.
