[Pugz]

Jason Kidd has agreed to sign with the Knicks on a three-year, $9 million deal, according to sources.

Kidd will presumably backup Jeremy Lin if he is ultimately retained as expected.

The Mavericks were confident they were moving toward a deal with Kidd.

At least 2 teams offered a washed up Jason Kidd a 3 year deal.

Why

2 years would have been cool with me. 3? dude's gonna be like 41 at the end.

The guy is a fossil. What good does it do to sign him unless he's going to make Carmelo and Amar'e pass the ball?

 

[Pugz]

i just heard they wont match an offer for lin if its too big or backloaded..

 

[Amare]

f this crap, they made a run for Kidd? when you could go for Felton... Felton + Amare was really good.

 

[Pugz]

yea but felton had a real bad season and it was probably actually a normal type of season for him. i would have rather had felton/lin for the long run though. if they do keep lin then kidd could actually help him a lot

 

[Amare]

meeeeh, Lin was exposed so bad against really good teams...
Let's hope Kidd brings some goodies to the table..

 

[Pugz]

lin is better than kidd at this point in their careers. lin wasnt as good as that run was but hes still a real solid starting point guard and is going to get a little bit better.

Felton's success in NY was also a product of D'Antoni's system. When he left NY he sucked again.

Felton wouldn't work with the ball-stopping Melo in Mike Woodson's iso-heavy offense.

 

[elcheato]

Felton wouldn't work with the ball-stopping Melo in Mike Brown's iso-heavy offense.

Mike Woodson*

Do all bald black men with the name Mike look alike to you?

 

[Pugz]

i guess i should +1 that lol

 

[Elite]

Lol, I was picturing Woodson in my head when I typed that too, I have no idea why Brown came out

 

[RipCity32]

i guess i should +1 that lol

I know I did lol.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

doesn't help that Woodson's offense was being run by Davis and Bibby on crutches.

 

[dez]

I hope some good comes out of this decision...

I don't mind it if we re-sign Lin and Kidd serves to mentor him.

My only problem is that we refuse to blow the team up. If Joe Johnson could be traded, Melo can.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

they're not trading Melo. Amar'e maybe, but not Melo.
