Sports banter

New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd recently said he wanted to be traded to a contender before the NBA’s Feb. 21 trade deadline. Which team is the best fit to land the All-Star point guard?

“Dallas is where he wants to be and Dallas is where he belongs. Jason Terry is a tremendous shooting point guard, but Kidd has the vision and complete game that the Mavericks need in the backcourt. Howard and Nowitzki will be even better with Kidd racking up triple-doubles and Terry will be a threat off the bench.”

“The only thing the Boston Celtics don’t have is a point guard, but there can’t be enough cap room left to trade for Kidd. Cleveland seems like the best case scenario because the Cavaliers need another guy to give LeBron James some breathing room.”

“I think Kidd would flourish with the Lakers. The Lakers could establish a ‘Big 3’ of their own when Andrew Bynum gets healthy and if they could land Kidd. Kidd and Kobe Bryant had lots of chemistry when they played with Team U.S.A. and a reunion could put the Lakers over the hump.”
