POLL: Should Jason Kidd go to the Spurs next season?

[Spoooon]

I say take Kidd and keep Parker if possible. But get Kidd no matter what.

 

[JMaster]

Thing about Kidd is, he completely changed the Nets' offense. He was able to get players to score, who usually didn't. There still isn't a player on the team that averages over 20 pts a game, but they work well together.
The Spurs have plenty of offense, but I think Kidd's passing can definitely help them. Parker isn't known for his passing, but one thing he's better at than Kidd is his jumpshots. Kidd's gonna cost the Spurs a lot of money, and to my knowledge, they are already over the cap. I'm sure losing the Admiral is gonna free up some space, though.
So I say yes, get Kidd. It's also an added All Star PG for you and one less for the rest of the league.

edit: By the way, Brand is a restricted free agent, no?

Steve Nash is ok (at best), but he makes some stupid decisions at the most critial point of the games.
If the Mavs can get Jason Kidd (back), they would have a very solid chance of taking the championship next year.

nash is not too good looking but a great pg and fits just as well as kidd would...and lets not get into kidd and stupid decisions...

lakers need to get rid of that good for nothing fisher, who gets schooled by any decent pg (troy hudson for godsake!)... parker would be a major upgrade and ginobli even better offensively than he is now (cmon, wait for shaq to get doubled, hit wide open 3, repeat) ...

The Mavs don't need Kidd. They're far better off with Nash.

Kidd should definitely go to the Spurs. They need a quality point guard that can score as well as get other people involved. They don't need another big man, that is just ridiculous, what team has 2 dominant 4's or 5's. It doesn't work that well since they live off the post game so much, it is better to have quality at opposite positions. Also if Kidd or Duncan want a real shot at a title in the next few years they need help. They would compliment each other perfectly.

Where did people come up with Kobe being traded? I can not possibly see this

3 titles and a good chance at a 4th? If it's not broke, don't fix it.

they have to keep kobe, if they win 4, shaq will probably retire. i don't see the fire in his eyes anymore. i think it's becoming old hat to him.

even if shaq DOESN'T retire, if i were trading one of the 2 away, i'd trade away shaq and build around kobe. shaq won't play more than 3 or 4 more seasons MAX in my opinion anyway.

DEFINATELY. Kobe is not going anywhere, and the Lakers are making sure of that.
As for Shaq, he's repeatedly said that once his contract is over he'll retire...
I know he's still putting up awesome numbers, but he's also been missing more and more games,...

Yes--the Spurs are so boring to watch. With Kidd and Ginobili (sp?), they will not just be great, but fun to watch too.

ROFL... "nash is not too good looking". what does that have to do with his game?

BTW, the Mavs just lost to the Blazers.

I don't wanna think of Kidd leaving the Nets..
if the Nets make it back this year to the finals
I think he'll stay since they both could offer the same amount of $...I think.
and the Spurs I hate duncan he doesnt deserve to play with Kidd

 

[viewton]

the spurs aren't over the cap, and they will have 14-16 mil to spend on one top FA, or two midpriced FA's next yr. I personally think keeping Parker at the point would be wise. His game is much improved even from last yr and will continue to get better each additional yr...the kid is wicked. They should get a big man like Jermaine if at all possible to play C so TD can still play the 4.

i hope kidd INSISTS on going to the spurs, then if i were rod thorn, i'd take kidd aside and i'd say, help us out with a sign and trade deal. i'd sign him and then trade him to the spurs for Parker and some other players to even out salary.

Then as rod thorn i'd go out and get some major big men. MB Jermaine O' Neal, he'd be great in the middle with KMart at 4, Jefferson at 3, and various players at 2, parker at PG.

tell me that wouldn't be a good team. athletic, quick. they would run anyone off the court.

First, if Kidd wants a ring, he sure as hell isn't going to get in NJ.

So if he wants a ring, he needs to go to San Antonio. Then the decision is up to SA. Are the odds better of winning with Duncan + Kidd now, or Duncan + Parker in the future.

Personally, I'd say get Jason Kidd. Kidd > Parker for at least another 4 years IMO.
