I don't see why everyone is so mad about this. Thats the price Kidd feels its worth to put up with playing for NJ be they contenders or not. He may not get that from another team but the situation he could be going to would probably be worth the paycut in his mind. This is Kidd's way of trying to force Thorn's hand is all because he wants to play elsewhere with either one of his USA teammates, that's pretty clear with the passive agressive crap we keep seeing pop up in newspapers.</p>

I agree. Kidd clearly wants out. </div></p>

How does asking for an extension, and then being upset and frustrated about not getting that extension, mean he wants out? I thinkyouguysare reading way too far into this. Judging by the comments of the "source" in the Star Ledger, it sounds like Kidd truly believes he deserves this extension. Is it crazy and delusional to think that anyone deserves that type of money? Maybe. But that's not the point. The point is that I don't see how you could equate someone wanting an extension with someone wanting out.</p>

In 2000 when Kidd was in Phoenix, he asked for a contract extension that would extend him in 2004. They gave it to him and he seemed pretty much thrilled about it. I think he just seriously likes signing extensions. He wants to stay here. Be glad. Rod's not stupid. I'm sure he will make Kidd an offer down the road. The money amount will probably depend upon who else Rod is looking to sign in the future, too. But I'm sure the Nets will get it done. If the Nets want to sign someone big, I doubt Kidd would mind signing for less than the maximum amount.</p>

Thanks! I'm glad I found this place. It's a lot more lively than other sites.</p>

I really truly hope deep down he does want to stay in New Jersey. I want to see him retire as a Net. But he's got a track record of asking to be traded, looking to greener pastures, now he's openly calling out his team and while I can't blame him for doing any its not exactly screaming I want to stay in New Jersey. Asking for the extension at that price is a way to be compensated for all he's done here as much as it is for possibly giving up his chance to play with guys he's repeatedly gushed over in Kobe and LeBron leaving him to get his fix through USA hoops. Kidd has been nothing short of a pro on the court and that's why I want him to stay but he's no idiot and this is a calculated move, almost like an extended two weeks notice. He sees the team repeatedly having the same issues, a front office that backs the coach, and knows full well what kind of number crunch our roster is in where asking for such a sum that would kill any possibility of improvement even if the team decided to pay millions in luxury tax. I in no way doubt he would like a 24 million dollar extension to play here, or anywhere for that matter, but now he can go sign somewhere else guilt free as he's now been the one who was rejected by management.</p>

Well, the NY Post todayis reporting Kidd only asked for $13 million, so there goes that theory.</p>

The Nets offered $10 million. I think they'll get something done relatively soon.</p>

Welcome to S2, Kiddisanet!</p>

Let's hope that all goes well. 10 mil sounds waaay better than 24 mil. Maybe then we could somehow get a big that can actually do something with that money saved.</p>

OnWFAN they are saying that there are sources (take that for what it's worth) that Kidd didn't play tonight as a protest because of this whole situation.

I wish management would just give him the freaking extension. This is what you deal with when you have star players on your team. They want what they want and they are the only people who matter. You put up with all of these guys because they are brilliant basketball players.</p>

So give him the damn extension already.</p>

Hopefully you're not Stefanski's replacement! You can't run a real franchise as if it were 2k8 and hope to be successful.</p>

in the words of GM I hope to God your not Stefanski's replacement because what you said is the reason we have spoil players and teams like the Knicks. This is a team. It's not about one player and the only name that matters is the one of the front. The Nets have to do what best for their franchise not just now but future wise. You do not invest in 24 million dollars in a player who will be 37.</p>

</p>

Plus no diss or anything but this remark is just just mind blowing.</p>

his is what you deal with when you have star players on your team. They want what they want and they are the only people who matter.</p>

</p>

Wrong this is basketball you have role players you have blue collars players. The Spurs do not think like that and that's why Greg has four daily reminders on how good team basketball is.</p>

</p>

Plus this organzation has already cater to Kidd enough. First trading KVH then signing Zo and firing Byron. Enough is enough. It's not like in the last three years we been in the Finals or conference finals so what are we missing? Another second round exit??</p>

Reports differ. The NY Post says Kidd would accept as low as $13 million. That's a lot different than 24.</p>

since we to compare him to :Stockton's final days, Stockton pulled in 8 million his final season....10-13, is not much in today's game.</p>

Stockton had a strange career in terms of when he made his money. Stockton made a total of 68 mill over 19 years or 3.6 mill per year on average. He made 37 mill over his last 4 years (maybe the Jazz were trying to pay him back). Over his first 15 seasons he made 31 mill, or an average of 2 mill per year.</p>

By the end of 2008-09 Kidd will have made 138 mill over his first 15 seasons. While Stockton made 31 mil over his first 15 seasons. So Kidd made 445% of what Stockton made during respective years.</p>

Now, using this model to predict Kidd`s future salary gives us:</p>

Stockton made 11mill for his 16th and 17thseasons, and then 7 mill and 7.8 mill for his18th and 19th. According to the predicted pay scale of 445%:</p>

Kidd will make 49.85 mill for his 16th and17th seasons, and then a mere 31.15 mill and 34.71 mill for his final two years.</p>
