Thats interesting, I'd love to see Kidd and James together.
You do have to admit though, the Celtics have been "rebuilding" for way too long. There comes a point where maybe more then just the players have to be changed, and I'm talking about higher up than Coach.

OH YEH......I cant keep up with himHe was traded for Kidd to Phx
Well, Ric Bucher said on ESPN that the deal happens if L.A. agrees to take Jason Collins (and his bad contract) back to L.a with Kidd. L.A. is apparently hesitant to bring back Collins and is looking for a third team to get involved.
However, the chatter is still there and Kidd is certainly on the block. The fact that his "back" is flaring up and he is sitting out adds more fuel to the fire. He is probably pulling himself out, or the team is to make sure he doesn't get injured.
Other rumors have the trade as follows:
L.A. gets: Jason Kidd
2007 second rounder
NJ gets: Kwame Brown
Aaron McKie
Jordan Farmar (the talent they want truly)
Chris Mihm
Shammond Williams
2007 first rounder
McKie, Mihm come off the books after the season as does Williams. Brown has one more year left after that and Farmar is a young talented PG that can compliment their rookie for years to come. Furthermore, they get much needed cap space because they will end up trading Carter as well for expiring contracts.
Bucher also said L.A. is interested in Mike Bibby, but I doubt anything ocmes of that.
