So I heard Kidd's interview with Mike Francesa & Chris Russo. Something is wrong! Whether it is Kidd's contract extension, or whether he wants a trade I really can't tell.
But here is what I do know.
[LIST]Kidd deserves an extension with the Nets, but he should also remember that he is 34 and it just can't be a max contract. Secondly he wants 2 years, why? Did Gary Payton get a max contract from his teams when he was Kidd's Age? I am not saying Gary Payton is the best comparison but seriously Kidd's demand of two extra years at MAX MONEY is just ridiculous[/LIST]
[LIST]Secondly, if Kidd does want a trade he needs to say it, so he can put (US) the fans in check. We don't know what's happening, but we do know that we are below .500 again and we are not playing anywhere close to where we should be playing. This is just not acceptable, and Kidd shouldn't accept this crap, either demand a trade for himself, or ask for help[/LIST]
[LIST]Thirdly, I honestly don't think there is a problem within the team, players are not fighting internally. But there is a coaching problem, the coaches are not providing any sense of urgency. Notice I said coaches, that's because I am tired of Frank, I don't consider him a coach anymore, he is Kidd's pet. This is not good, Frank can't do anything without thinking of Kidd first. Shouldn't it be the other way round?[/LIST]
[LIST] Lastly, if we trade anyone it has to be Vince, and at this point, I am willing to take a player like Penny Hardaway in return [/LIST]
To end. I am disappointed as we all are. And what makes it worse is that we lost to the Knicks, the JOKE of the NBA. and I am today ashamed of being a Nets fan. (This is the second time of my life I feel this way towards the Nets Franchise)
Thorn needs to hire Kiki NOW. Losing Ed was a blessing in disguise....but we need a replacement, because Ed had a few things going for the team.
