i just love that kidd retired the day after Grant retired. those two mean a lot to the NBA for their continued professionalism and class. their journeys took separate paths but began together and will end up together.

My favorite Basketball Player of all time he was one of the reasons I enjoyed watching him play ball, its kinda sad he's gone, but I guess it was just time. Was just 14 when he entered the league. Thanks for all the great memories J kidd.

Who else could be responsible for you enjoying watching Kidd play.. Other than Kidd himself?
Anyway, I'm sad to see the guy go, but I'm gla to see him leave at the same time as Grant Hill. It just seems like the most appropriate thing for these co-ROY to do.
If Jason Kidd's son painted his head orange he would make a fantastic team mascot.
Where's KBlaze to give some perspective on this?
where does Kidd rank all time for PGs?

sorry worded it wrong Im sleepy, I meant to say one of the reasons I enjoyed watching the NBA and what got me hooked on basketball,I was more of a baseball guy before this. He was the first and only guy I collected basketball cards for.
Jason Kidd is actually retiring...after 19 unbelievable years......
I think I can speak for all Knick fans by saying......Get lost, old man!!! That's right, you heard me. Geriatric c-ck sucker. "Oh look at me, I'm going to the Hall of Fame." I don't give TWO SHITS!!! You'll always be remembered for this!!!

How convenient you "forgot how to score" just in the playoffs. Yeah, like that happens.....Congress needs to investigate this black/white charlatan. And your kids got a freaky big head. Go get drunk, slam into a tree, and then beat your wife some more..........goodbye forever!!
What? :confusedshrug: What's everyone looking at? :wtf:
Can somebody clear this up:
The Knicks can now use the full mid-level exception, correct? Because they're below the taxpayers line with this retirement if they workout a buyout which is likely to happen.
[QUOTE=LJJ]If Jason Kidd's son painted his head orange he would make a fantastic team mascot.[/QUOTE]
When we'd see him sitting sideline at a Nets game, my Dad would call him "Moonhead"

I think they could, but they won't...if you use Non Taxpayer MLE, then you have a hard cap put on you for the year. So knicks aren't going to use it, even if they technically could.

I doubt they'll pass up an opportunity to improve the team if they have it.

So he missed like 8 shots over the course of the series you lost in.. JR missed that much in single quarters.
Alright. Nevermind. The Knicks do NOT have the full MLE. To have the full MLE you have to be at least 5 mill below the apron, and then are capped at the apron. The Knicks won't be five mill below the apron so will just have the 3 mill MLE to work with.
Kidd retiring may open up the 1.9 MLE tho.
[QUOTE=DStebb716]I doubt they'll pass up an opportunity to improve the team if they have it.[/QUOTE]
They can't. They have plenty of roster spots to fill with minimum salary guys. They won't even be able to do that if they use full MLE.
The only way this team improves is if it pulls off a steal with the 24th pick. I would be absolutely pleased if they could get Shane Larkin there, but I highly doubt he gets anyway passed 23 (Indiana). If there's any possible way to trade up, then the Knicks should do it to land him.
Then signing Dorell Wright would be the best option for the 3 mill MLE. This would give the Knicks a scoring option at the three that spreads the floor for Melo playing at the four.
And resigning Prigioni for the vet's minimum (I wouldn't pay any more than that).
Maybe getting Matt Barnes for the minimum would be a good option if possible.
Resigning JR. And if you can get Cope back on board then good. If he leaves, he'll likely be the second coming of Shawne Williams.
now Juwan Howard needs to retire to complete the draft class.
One of my favorite player ever :cry:
What a career! I'm just glad he got to win at least a championship before he retires.
Thank you for the great times Jason Kidd :cheers:
Will be missed.... *holding back tears*
wow.....I'm speechless
there will never be another jason kidd

i cried at work today when I read bleacher....
favorite player of all time, and I guess a not so biased opinion is that he is number 2 point of all time... hate stockton comparison there is none, one was alpha one wasnt.... magic is the only one with a better legacy... isiah is right there...
i never got to see him as a knick:(
[QUOTE=DStebb716]I doubt they'll pass up an opportunity to improve the team if they have it.[/QUOTE]
No, they will not use the MLE. It really restricts what you can do later on - it hard caps you for more than a year. That wasn't happening before and is still not happening now.
Well it was good while it lasted Kidd. He'll always be one of my all time favorites.

Well... maybe I shed a tear... I love the response my coworkers gave me.. I announced like guess who retired... two said grant hill... I was like nah today someone else... and then I said kidd..... and everyone was like ahhh nahhh... we were sadden.... treated customers like shit rest of the day....
Woodside....
J Kidd one of the best PGs ever. Had an awesome career.
Will the Brooklyn Nets retire his jersey number? Kidd had a great career. A top 6 PG of all time.
Sad. I think he could've contributed for another season or 2.
Retiring with his co-ROY Grant Hill :cheers: Thanks for the memories. Would be cool if they enter the HOF at the same time :lol
:cheers:
I've always liked him, but it was definitely time. Age was brutal to him and frankly I consider him the greatest defensive pg of all time in general and one of the best all around players ever, but he had pretty much shown he was done competing at an elite level this year. Good luck to him. Jason Kidd > Gary Payton defensively.
What an amazing career Kidd had, too bad he retired being a knick.
Farewell JKIDD!
