Newsflash: LeBron Wants Kidd
Published 1/30/2008 by Matt Watson at FanHouse
Filed under: Nets, Cavaliers, Eastern, Cleveland, The Word I would have figured that LeBron James has at least a working understanding of how the NBA's salary cap rules are structured in regards to trades, but the more he campaigns for Jason Kidd, the more I have to wonder. Yesterday, the Cavs were in Portland when Kidd's name came up, which sparked the following response: "I would love to have a guy like Jason Kidd to be a part of this franchise, I think it makes us that much better of a team. ...

Zeke’s Latest Delusion : Knicks To Pursue Kidd
Published 1/30/2008 by GC at Can't Stop The Bleeding
... , True Hoop’s Henry Abbott writes, “it’s not at all clear that the Cavalier organization wants a highly paid non-shooter on the downslope of his career, especially when it’s sure to cost valuable assets. As much as the team wants to be competitive now, they also really need to be competitive in the summer of 2010, when LeBron James will be a free agent.” ...

Cavaliers' LeBron James Wants Jason Kidd in Cleveland
Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James made it public that he would like the Cavaliers to persue New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd. Obviously, the Cavs don't have the right players to have make a deal but the only plausible deal I could see coming would be Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Daniel Gibson, and maybe some other players going to the Nets in exchange for Kidd by himself. Perhaps the ...
If The Cavs Acquired Jason Kidd
Trades are funny in the NBA. In baseball, you can build for the future by dealing a veteran for unheard-of prospects. In football, the roster is 53, so there’s a good chance of being able to trade one position for another. But in basketball, rosters are maxed out at 15, so options are limited. (Read: draft picks.) During the NBA season, we see normally one big trade (last year it was ...
James says trade for Kidd would mean title for Cavs
LeBron James said he hadn't talked to his good friend Jason Kidd on Tuesday, a day after the New Jersey Nets point guard asked to be traded. James said he hadn't talked to Cleveland Cavaliers GM Danny Ferry either. He didn't think that was necessary. "Like I've been quoted before, I would love to have a guy like Jason Kidd be a part of this franchise," James said. "It would ...
It’s That Easy, Huh?
More Rumors Of Trades That Will Not Happen I sometimes feel like with the Cavaliers, the only 3 things to talk about are 1) how terrible Larry Hughes is and how he has literally robbed this franchise of millions upon millions of dollars….it’s to the point that the other day I actually wondered if it was [...]’
Cavs want Kidd, but may not have enough tradeable assets
Over the last year the Cleveland Cavaliers have been attempting to make a major trade to put another star next to LeBron James . They made pitches for Sacramento Kings point guard Mike Bibby and Kevin Garnett before he was traded to the Boston Celtics . Now team General Manager Danny Ferry will probably be in pursuit of another, Jason Kidd . The Cavs, in need of a point guard, are expected to ...
01/30 Morning Minute: First Three Quarters Are Overrated
Who’s this Joe Johnson you speak of? As Rick already mentioned, LeBron James did it again. With the Cavaliers struggling to amass much of an offense for most of the contest, James took over in the fourth quarter - per usual - as Cleveland outscored the Blazers 22-15 to win by one. How about this for [...]
Cavalier Attitude Poll: Is Kenny Thomas’ Contract Worth Mike Bibby?
Mike Bibby is no Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, or Magic Johnson (or…is he?), but would he make the Cleveland Cavaliers a better team? The rumors have been going around for exactly one whole year now. They dominated the trading deadline last February, and a deal involving the Cavs and Kings would have easily been the biggest headliner during that time. At the end, the Cavs weren’t able ...
Jason Kidd's Trade Request Puts Pressure On Cleveland Cavaliers
My AM Take Jason Kidd finally confirmed the worst secret in pro sports he wants out of New Jersey and has asked the Nets to trade him quot Sometimes when you ride a wave you get to the end and that s all there is.

No Kidd-ing!
Earlier today, ESPN's Ric Bucher reported that Jeff Schwartz, the agent for Jason Kidd, has asked the Nets to try and trade Kidd by the February 21st deadline. Kidd told Bucher, "Sometimes, when you ride a wave, you get to the end and that's all there is. That's where we are." Although Kidd is no longer the player he once was, the soon-to-be 35 year-old is still averaging 11.3 ...

CavsCast: Cavs in the PDX, Boobie to Big Easy, Andy Out 3-4 Weeks
How’s this for tragedy: it’s that one time of the year again when I can see the Cavs live in my new adopted hometown of Portland, Oregon. But because of a week from hell, not only will I not be at the Rose Garden tonight, I won’t even be watching the nationally televised telecast on ESPN (9 pm Eastern, 6 pm Pacific). That’s not the only sad part. In ...
LeBron’s Order: One Jason Kidd and a Side of Fries
by Marcel Mutoni LBJ is not one to come out and make too many definitive statements; like many of his peers in the Association, he usually sticks to tried and tested clichés and platitudes. With a potentially available Jason Kidd, however, LeBron is being pretty damn direct about what he wants. James wants Kidd on the Cavs. Point black. End of story : “I would love to have a guy like ...
