Jason Kidd has played for Team USA before. It's only fitting that he be included anew. Though a little advanced in years as compared to the younger players in Team USA selection, he has proved during this season's playoffs that he is still far from being a normal player. Well, he just averaged a triple-double in the two series he's played.

 

Another feather in Jason Kidd's cap! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Sigh!... :cry: I wonder how he'll be able to get a championship ring... :angry:

The NETS will make the 17th overall pick in the draft this year...

 

I wonder who they've got in mind. Hope there would still be serviceable big men by then though it's gonna be a long shot. :blush: Or maybe they should trade their draft pick along with Vince Carter for an All-Star big man? :rolleyes:

 

What do you think guys?

Jul 1, 2007 4:51pm ET Report: Carter Agrees to Contract With Nets ESPN.com writes, "Vince Carter apparently is keeping Vinsanity in New Jersey. The Newark Star Ledger is reporting that Carter, who opted out of the final year of his contract which called for a $16.3 million salary next season, has agreed to a four-year, $61.8 million contract with the Nets. The contract with the team holds an option for a fifth year."

Whew! It's good to be back! :blush:

 

Well, another NBA Season is about to start and as a NETS fan, I wouldn't say I'm NOT optimistic about our chances this year. Sigh... I posted my wish list at the end of the Nets' campaign last season and well... some of the more important concerns were not addressed by the management. Here's our team's rostr as off today:

 

F-C Josh Boone - he showed some promise in last season's playoffs. hope he'll keep it up!

F-G Vince Carter - he stayed. hope he delivers this year <_<

F-C Jason Collins - ho-hum!

C Mile Ilic - his value still remains to be seen

G-F Richard Jefferson - please stay healthy...

G Jason Kidd - King Net

C Nenad Krstic - he's back! let's hope he'll stay healthy

C Jamaal Magloire - we needed a big man. who am i to complain? better than JC, though.

F Bostjan Nachbar - after last season, i'm excited to see him play this year!

G-F Bernard Robinson - injuries hampered his progress last season...

G Marcus Williams - he's got game! time to shine, kid!

F-C Sean Williams - the only rookie in the line-up. we'll see if he's worth the draft pick

G-F Antoine Wright - he's supposed to be "good." dunno what happened.

 

Head Coach - Lawrence Frank (again?)

 

I'll be cheering you on this year VC 'cause I have no choice... show us something, man! <_<

 

GO GO NETS!!!

Nets' Kidd 'the man' when it comes to U.S. hoops success

 

http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...6/1088/SPORTS04

 

excerpts:

 

Kidd is also the only member of the team with an Olympic gold medal (2000) and is a perfect 28-0 in international competition (including the 1999 and 2003 qualifying tournaments and the 2000 Olympics).

 

"He threw one alley-oop pass to me one time and I didn't even realize I was open, but he saw that I was," said Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. "Playing with someone like Jason is every player's dream." :upside:

 

Carmelo Anthony, the U.S. team's leading scorer at the world championships (19.9), said Kidd's addition to the team "makes a big difference. We have to be on the same page as he is, because he is always two steps ahead of everyone else," said Anthony.

 

I will cheer on the US in their quest to regain basketball supremacy only because Jason Kidd's with them! :thumbsupsmiley:

I think they should consider the JO-RJ trade. The Nets' window of opportunity rests on the hands of Kidd and if hecould be partnered with a post threat like JO, the Nets could contend against the East powerhouses...

 

Really? There's such a deal being cooked up? JO? Jermaine O'Neal? :unsure:

 

Pwede na din! Tutal VC's got a new contract eh! Would JO's salary fit in the Nets' salary cap? :unsure:
