Mark Cuban is battling the New York Knicks to overpay Kidd AP source: Kidd is the free agent Cuban Twittered about meeting at 12:01 -- Newsday.com
Kidd is still an incredibly productive player. His Sprocket Points justified salary last season was $13mm. Unfortunately for Dallas he made over $21mm last year. Oops. If he were to sign for three years in the 10-15 range per year he's definitely worth the gamble.
Didn't Mavs offer him a new deal for 3 years worth about $21 mil? NY only has 1-year at $5.6 mil that they can offer.
Re: Kidd in Dallas - Hill to NY? NY POST - Marc Berman 7/06/09 "Hill, who visited the Celtics over the weekend, could be had for either the Knicks smaller exception worth $2 million or a portion of their $5.8 million mid-level exception. Hill played for Mike D'Antoni two seasons ago. D'Antoni called Hill "one of the best free agents out there." and is pushing to sign him." KIDD TO STAY IN DALLAS - New York Post
i'm really liking how the summer is shaping up.... every power in the east is loading up on old vets who's windows are closing fast, and in the process taking time and money from young players looking to improve but us. Two years from now I really think if we continue the course and have a solid coach in place we'll be back to the king of the mountain in the East and alot of teams are going to be falling off the cliff
Round, very good observation, they just can't sign enough 35 year olds to make me happy.. Little more on Kidd back in Dallas; Dallas Basketball - Dallas Mavericks Basketball News and Links
After they signed Kidd they defending the trade.. Funny there still defending the trade... Harris is going to look even better next season now that Carter is gone...30 shots a game would be justifiable with the way that team is built.
