So, if the Kidd deal does go through, who would change their number? I sure as hell don't want JHo to change his number.

changing numbers has to be aproofed by the league (stern)
he did so with watson for webber in GS (making room for webers #4)
in josh howards case, its another story...he is way more popular than watson and a lot of kids own his replica...making him change the number would force them to buy a new one (ok, not force but to bribe)...there are also other rules to prevent teams from making easy money with such things: a third jersey-coulor can only be intruduced like every 2 years and so on!
that said: kidd has to change!
