<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">While Jason Kidd's personal life continues to make headlines, the more interesting development - if you ask me - is the Nets' pursuit of the right trade that would reshape the team before the Feb. 22 deadline.
The latest potential swaps heard around the league had the Nets discussing a deal that would've sent Vince Carter and Marcus Williams to the Clippers for Corey Maggette and Shaun Livingston. That deal was nixed by the Clippers, who don't want to deal Livingston, but the Nets seem more focused than ever on trying to move Carter.
The problem is, they want equal value in return, and equal value is hard to get for a player who can opt out of his contract after the season. Nets president Rod Thorn reportedly has offered Carter to Memphis for Pau Gasol, to Seattle for Ray Allen and to Utah for Andrei Kirilenko.
The Nets went 5-1 in the immediate aftermath of Kidd's divorce filing Jan. 9, then lost three straight games by one point entering last night's 112-102 win over Denver - in which Carter had 40 points.</div>
