If you want Kidd you should give us a 1st. Just like the Clippers gave for Doc. Were not gonna give up our head coach for nothing?

Im perfectly happy demoting Kidd, and having him do nothing. You act like we care. We don't.


If by delusional you mean completely right, then yeah

A Grantland piece by Bryan Curtis on Trade Rumors in today's NBA:
http://grantland.com/features/nba-trade ... e-signing/

In the Trade Rumor Era, everyone is a national basketball writer. Woj competes with Stein. Stein competes with the personal trainer in Cleveland who’s guaranteeing LeBron will come home. The trainer competes with message-board prophet “Carl2680,” who beat even Bontemps to the Kidd scoop. Twitter is their Thunderdome.
