LeBron: I Shouldn't Have To Tell The Front Office To Get Kidd

LeBron James broke his silence regarding the Jason Kidd trade rumors on Wednesday night, telling the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he shouldn't have to tell the Cavaliers' organization to make a play for the All-Star point guard.

"When it gets to a point like that, where you see Jason Kidd wants to be traded, you shouldn't have to go to the front office and tell them to get on it," James told the Plain Dealer on Wednesday. "It's Jason Kidd. It's not someone else asking for a trade. It's Jason Kidd. You shouldn't have to go to anybody in the front office for them to be ready to try to jump on it."
