In an unforeseen reversal, Jason Kidd has decided to leave the Dallas Mavericks to join the New York Knicks, according to sources familiar with the decision.
With the Mavericks confident that they were closing in Thursday on a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Kidd worth $9 million, sources told ESPN.com that Kidd -- after all-day deliberations with both teams -- has decided instead to leave Dallas to join the Knicks for a similar deal.
The contract can't actually be signed until July 11, which is the first day new NBA contracts can be signed. It's also possible, one source said, that Kidd could ultimately move to the Knicks in a sign-and-trade deal.
Sources briefed on the matter told ESPN.com that Kidd was ultimately swayed to take the Knicks' offer to come to New York and take on the challenge of trying to help the Knicks move into the Eastern Conference and also mentor fans darling' Jeremy Lin.

Sick.....he is going to be a great mentor for Jeremy Lin.
Payton mentored Kidd and now Kidd will mentor Lin. :rockon:
One California kid to another.

Why?? they drafted him and he won a championship there.. plus from all reports I've heard Cuban is a terrific players-first type of owner.

As stated earlier, inb4Broussard
Dallas fans must be in a very disappointed and frustrated state right now. Feels weird though considering Kidd spent his prime days in Jersey.

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
Are the Knicks sending 4 picks to the Mavs so that he can make more money?

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
BTW for all you Dallas fans :facepalm 'ing this might be a blessing in disguise for the Mavs. What did Kidd average these past 2 seasons? Was it somewhere around 5/5/3 on 42% or something like that?
He played a part in the Dallas championship but it wasn't like he played a super significant role. That championship was more about the entire team has a whole stepping up. Kidd was probably the 4th or 5th best/most impactful player on the Mavs that season. I remember Barea having better games than Kidd.
Also lol @ Knick fans celebrating over every little pickup.. I really feel sorry for that franchise.. especially since I'm kind a knicks fan. And don't fool yourselfs.. Kidd is nowhere near Nash at this stage in his career.

[QUOTE=AMISTILLILL]...where the hell did Mayo and Camby come from?[/QUOTE]
He is just trying to create a team that can beat the Heat because he is threatened that LeBron will surpass Kobe's legacy soon if the Heat continue to win.
With that being said, I don't know why Dallas fans are mad. Kidd is not the difference between a playoff team and a non playoff team. He isn't THAT good anymore. He is still a serviceable PG and will probably backup and mentor Lin. His role will probably be very limited.

Nice pickup Knicks. Rebuilding time for the Mavs.

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
Good I actually want the Knicks to be competitive this year. And Kidd is a great leader...

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal

We're still working on those.

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
great pickup considering we had to deal w/ the likes of B-Diddy and M-Bibby.
Kidd will be an excellent mentor to Lin, and he even though he's old, and has fallen off quite a bit recently, he is a future HOFer, a great teammate, and knows how to orchestrate.
Plus, one of the better defensive point guards in the league.

Re: Jason Kidd joins NY Knicks on a multiyear deal
Interesting.
Dallas might just go for a full rebuild now that their elder Kidd is gone. Unless they wanna be just mid-tier.
Good for Knicks. Kidd could wind up being a good leader for them.

J-Kiddy ?:confusedshrug:
It's very possible this will be a sign and trade with Dallas. Something like Toney Douglas + $3 million cash + 2nd rounder. What that would do is save the mini-MLE for someone else....like a Marcus Camby, OJ Mayo or Randy Foye....
Watch....I think that will happen.

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
Fun fact for Knicks fans: Jason Kidd's former first name was Ason until he developed a respectable jumpshot in Dallas.

Re: Jason Kidd joins the New York Knicks on a multiyear deal
Dallas should trade dirk for picks and just start from scratch. They have no trade assets and they won't attract Dwight or CP3 next offseason.
