Spare parts Lakers are offering don't make sense for Nets By Al Iannazzone / YESNetwork.com Advertisement EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jason Kidd was getting treatment on his back and thus couldn't talk about the recent trade rumor concerning him. One educated guess is Kidd would have said, "It's part of the business." The savvy veteran knows that. He also knows the Nets aren't going to trade him unless they get something in return, and that trade rumor wasn't going to help the Nets. It had Kidd going to the Lakers in some package for the expiring contracts of Chris Mihm and Aaron McKie, Jordan Farmar, Kwame Brown and picks. Rod Thorn and Ed Stefanski would never do that. They probably would do something if Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum were involved, but the Lakers wouldn't do that. What are the Nets telling the fans they're already deserting if they trade their franchise for guys who can't play because they're old or can't play because they're hurt? You're basically giving up on this season. Thorn is a competitor and hates — HATES — losing. He won't mortgage this season when the East is wide open. If Vince Carter, Kidd and a healthy Richard Jefferson are playing well the Nets can beat anyone in the East. Sure, they'll miss Nenad Krstic, but they still have enough to win. Now, that doesn't mean Kidd or Carter won't be traded before the Feb. 22 deadline. It's possible, but not likely. Thorn and Stefanski aren't going to give either All-Star away. They have to get something in return or stand pat and play it out, which is a probability at this point. As for Kidd's back, he's questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, who have beaten the Nets seven straight times. Kidd would have to be in rough shape to not play against the Spurs, the team he almost signed with after they beat the Nets in the 2003 NBA Finals. Speaking of the Spurs, Jacque Vaughn returns to New Jersey. He was a professional, good to deal with for the media and he helped the Nets. Vaughn signed with San Antonio after the Nets drafted Marcus Williams, figuring he wouldn't be needed. He's been getting some run lately, averaging 14.3 minutes the last three games. The Nets are looking forward to seeing Jacque. 大意是说 如果用Mihm, McKie, Farmar, Brown 换Kidd. Stefanski and Thorn 不会赞同， 若包含 Bynum or Odom 湖人也不会。 所以这个交易不是不可能发生，但是机会不大。 另外他提到 Thorn 不是一个喜欢输球的总管， 他更不会在东区是一个wide open状态的时候， 把一整个球季拿去做赌注。 只要 RJ 回来， Kidd, Carter, Jefferson 他们都有资格 击败东区任何队伍，虽然他们少了 Krstic， 但是以板凳以及其他球员的挺身而出，已经足够赢球。 再来就是 Kidd 正在治疗背部的疼痛，不知道明天对上马刺会不会上场。 但篮网期盼在明星赛前所剩余的两场比赛达到五成胜率。 然後马刺的 Jacque Vaughn 会回到纽泽西， 看看他会怎麽给 Marcus Williams 上一课或是碰上之前的老大哥 Kidd。 --
