He goes from a player the Nets want to shop or trade, to a player that is so counter productive they have to shop and trade.</p>

"Kidd, 34, was upset with the mounting losses and that he was playing with two bruised thighs while Vince Carter missed five games with a sprained right ankle, sources said. Kidd also was unhappy that the Nets wouldn’t meet his price."</p>
This doesn't make any sense. Carter had a legitimate injury and was out until he could come back on the court. Why the hell would Kidd be upset about that? Unless he thought it wasn't a legitimate injury but there is nothing to consider it wasn't. And why be upset about and go on "strike" in part because of it.</p>
Whoever the "team source" was for this story, you got to wonder what their motives were for going public with these accusations. Why would they go public with it with obvious fallout it would produce? If Kidd really wanted out why would a team source hurt Kidds trade value by going public with this.You would think a team source would want to keep it from getting out. Instead they reveal damaging information and cause even more turmoil for the team.</p>

On this rare occasion, I agree 100% with what NOMAM is saying. However, kinda understand, but not completely though, about the trade value part. I don't see how Kidd complaining really hurts his trade value. Sure, it seems unprofessional or whatever, but this is so rare for Kidd that I don't think any soliciting team would be turned off by it.</div></p>
