| KIDD'S
TURN
Hallama
Like
Webber two years ago, it is now Jason Kidd's turn
to be cast in the media's blaring spotlight for
a superstar FA. Tonight, Kidd plays in San Antonio,
who many speculate will be Kidd's next home after
this season. Webber got the same treatment in
Detroit and NY during his FA tour...the hints,
the unanswered questions and speculations...
The
Spurs, specifically Pop, have done a fabulous
job of sporting an elite team this season while
freeing up enough capspace in the offseason to
sign one of the top FA's including Kidd, Jermaine
O'Neal, Elton Brand, or Gary Payton...not to mention
having enough space to resign Tim Duncan in the
process...quite an accomplishment.
I
believe the Kings could make a run at Kidd in
the offseason and have a better shot at landing
him then the Spurs...via a sign and trade that
would send Mike Bibby + filler (perhaps an unhappy
Hedo and an expiring contract like Fundy) for
Kidd...the Kings would be gambling away the youth
and promise of Bibby for the experience and skills
of the best PG in the NBA, Jason Kidd (who turns
30 in a few weeks)...
Of
course, lots depends on this years playoff run
for the Kings, this trade is under the assumption
that the Kings lose again in the WC playoffs...so,
how many of you would consider doing this? How
long can the Kings depend on the injury prone
Webber to carry the load? I think the Kings have
a smaller window to win a championship than most
would like to believe...

speculating like the media
