Kidd asks Nets for trade, misses shootaround

Jason Kidd says he wants to be traded, and New Jersey's All-Star point guard missed Tuesday's team shootaround. "We tried to make this work. We've found out it doesn't," Kidd told ESPN The Magazine on Monday. "It's time for us all to move on." The Nets, losers of nine in a row, were scheduled to play the Milwaukee Bucks at home Tuesday night. Nets president Rod Thorn did not immediately return a phone message Tuesday. [link]
