... Who’s the latest douchbag athlete to put himself above his team? Jason Kidd wins that honor. According to the NY Post, Kidd was “on strike” last night. His official reason for missing the game against the Knicks was a migraine, but source say Kidd didn’t play because he’s pissed off, and wants a trade or contract extension. During a season in which we’ve seen Kobe Bryant, Stephon Marbury and now Jason Kidd attempt to hold their teams hostage, I want to praise our guys. Paul Pierce, KG and Ray Allen. ...
Jason Kidd Calls in Sick to Work
Larry Brown Sports —
... I guess there’s some sort of clause in his contract that gives him sick days. In case you missed it, the news of the night was that the Knicks actually won a game. When you look a little deeper, you see it’s because the Nets were without their best player, Jason Kidd. Where was Kidd you ask?

And he's now giving Nets management a migraine by basically going on strike with non-existant maladies as he forces the team to A) give him a contract extension or B) trade him. When trade and Jason Kidd are mentioned in the same sentence, the Mavs aren't far behind. Last year, I say "No Way!" but things have changed. Certainly, ...

SLAM Online —
... Coming off a season where the Nets, a playoff staple in recent times, were unable to make those playoffs in the pathetic Eastern Conference, it was time for a new direction.
