Jason Kidd is all smiles during his first workout with the Dallas Mavericks yesterday. The perennial All-Star point guard finally got his wish to be traded to the Mavericks from Bruce Ratner’s Nets after several rumored deals and a recently nixed trade to Dallas last week.
...
The Nets’ plans of coming to Downtown Brooklyn are still on, according to team president Rod Thorn, who cited 2010 as the most realistic arrival date for the franchise on Tuesday.However, Thorn also noted that the first shovel has not yet been planted in the Atlantic Yards, site of Ratner’s proposed $550 million Barclay’s Center. Kidd, who never seemed thrilled with the idea of moving to Brooklyn, won’t have to worry about playing in our fair borough, unless its for the opposition.
NoLandGrab: This is the first we ever heard of Kidd not being thrilled about playing in Brooklyn. Just a few short years ago, the NJ Nets PR machine was bragging that Kidd worshipped in Brooklyn.
