1. What is Kidd's status with the Nets after the events of this week? He's still their franchise, folks. Damaging as the allegations were that he boycotted Wednesday's game against the Knicks with a faux headache in an attempt to start forcing his way out of town, Kidd is too beloved and respected by teammates and management for opinions to change that quickly. Not after one unsubstantiated allegation that Kidd -- in the face of his peerless rep for playing hurt -- staged this one-game strike to register his displeasure with the organization. Kidd, furthermore, has deep ties to the area after six-plus years in town, leading the Nets to their only sustained NBA success. One source close to the situation insists that Nets owner Bruce Ratner maintains a deep aversion to the idea of parting with Kidd and had serious reservations last February when New Jersey appeared poised to send Kidd to the Lakers if L.A. had been willing to surrender Andrew Bynum in the deal. The source said Friday that the most likely outcome remains that Kidd gets the one-year extension to his contract that he's been seeking with a view toward finishing his career as a Net. That might be as much because of the complications New Jersey faces in getting back a suitable package back for Kidd, but it's important to note that the sides have not suspended extension talks. 2. What is really Kidd's first choice? Staying or going? Just like Kobe after a summer playing alongside the invigorating talent on a revamped Team USA, Kidd is obsessed with being surrounded by similarly hungry folks in his day job to finally win that elusive championship. Even more so than Bryant, Kidd is contemplating the prospects for his remaining years at 34, with only two seasons left on his current contract and with the Nets off to a sub-.500 start through 19 games for the -- no misprint -- fifth consecutive season. However … I remain convinced that Kidd would prefer to stay if the Nets can find a way to get back to legit contention, especially with the team's high-profile move to Brooklyn looming in 2009. The conference has improved considerably since New Jersey made the landscape-changing acquisition of Kidd for Stephon Marbury in the summer of 2001, but one big move is still all the Nets would need to restore hope of getting back to the Finals. Catching up to the East's early pacesetters this season -- Boston, Orlando and Detroit -- is hardly out of the Nets' reach with the right deal. 3. But can the Nets make a trade that can appease Kidd? It's a valid concern, because finding the right deal won't be easy. Reality does intervene even though it is undeniably easier to make grand leaps in the East. The reality here is that New Jersey, with its limited assets, will struggle to concoct a trade that gives Kidd renewed hope about the Nets' long-term prospects. The offers made for Kidd figure to bring back more than the Nets would get by making everyone on the roster but Kidd available. You'll recall that New Jersey tried hard at the June draft to acquire O'Neal from the Pacers for a package headlined by Jefferson and Nenad Krstic. Indiana's reservations then about taking back Richard Jefferson -- who happens to have responded to being shopped with the best ball of his life -- will have been replaced by even stronger concerns about Krstic's health given the Serbian's ongoing struggles to come back from knee surgery. 4. Where is Kidd going if the Nets do make him available at February's trade deadline? Asked specifically about Cleveland and his well-known admiration for LeBron James, according to our man on the scene Chris Sheridan, Kidd told reporters Thursday that the Cavs are "not one of my destinations." That suggests two things: (1) Kidd indeed imagines himself playing elsewhere on some level if he's got such a list; and (2) Kidd must understand that LeBron's Cavs have almost nothing of trade value to offer to enter the sweepstakes, with the newly re-signed Anderson Varejao ineligible to be dealt until the offseason and with zero chance that the Nets would consider taking on Larry Hughes in the exchange. The Lakers, meanwhile, would still have Lamar Odom as a third option alongside the tantalizing tandem of Kobe and Kidd had they been willing to part with Bynum last February. But they weren't and would be a lot less willing to even mention Bynum now, with the Jersey-reared young big man starting to live up to his potential with averages of 10.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in just 26 minutes per game. So L.A. would likely need the involvement of at least one more team to have another shot at Kidd. You can likewise still debate how far up the West ladder L.A. would rise even if it somehow hatched a deal that delivered a core of Kobe, Kidd, Odom and Bynum. The Lakers, configured thusly, might still only be the West's fourth-best team, behind San Antonio, Phoenix and Utah. The leading Kidd suitor at this juncture, then, would have to be Dallas. Kidd has quietly maintained a long-standing interest in returning to the team that drafted him and the Mavericks, according to one team source, strongly believed after Steve Nash's controversial departure in the summer of 2004 that they were close to getting him back. It didn't happen then and the Mavs resisted calls to make another run at Kidd after their first-round flameout to Golden State, claiming that they'd have been overreacting to change too much from a 67-win team. No one's saying that now, though. Not with team morale, according to club sources, suddenly approaching new lows in the wake of this 3-6 skid, reinforcing my belief from the start that this group needed a bigger shakeup after two such disheartening playoff endings back-to-back. With the Mavs' lack of a proven winner/killer/closer in Kidd's class never more evident, Charles Barkley aptly concluded on TNT's postgame show Thursday: "Dallas is in trouble, man. They gonna have to do something.'" 5. Do the Mavs actually have enough to entice New Jersey? Yes. The sticking point in a straight two-team swap would be Josh Howard -- Howard would be the first player New Jersey asks for and the guy Dallas is apt to deem untouchable a la Bynum -- but Dallas has two other key pieces to get the conversation cranked up: Devin Harris, as the promising young point guard to replace Kidd, and the ability to create a lucrative expiring contract to provide salary-cap relief and make the trade math work by giving a three-year deal (with only the first year guaranteed) to the unofficially retired Keith Van Horn. Harris is a Mark Cuban favorite and a proven nuisance to San Antonio as Dallas' answer to Tony Parker. But Harris is not an Avery Johnson favorite and, after a promising start to the season, is again struggling to run the team to the demanding coach's specifications. So … Would New Jersey take Harris, Jason Terry, Van Horn's cap-friendly deal and future draft considerations for Kidd? Would Dallas part with Harris and Howard for Kidd? Probably not in either case. Yet even in three- or four-team scenarios, it's difficult to imagine New Jersey getting back a better young heir to Kidd than Harris, who could probably use a fresh start as much as any Mav. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-071208-09 这是刚刚在espn的网站看见的一篇跟队长相关的报导 贴过来跟大家分享一下,不过感觉好像也没有说到很多 比较新的好像是有谈到可能跟小牛的交易吧(可能之前有不过我没看过Orz) 可是说来说去好像也只是都还在''谈''的阶段 --
