The last time Jason Kidd was mentioned as a potential free agent target for the San Antonio Spurs was in the 2003 offseason after Tony Parker underperformed against Kidd in the NBA Finals.
Kidd was a waking triple-double then. Now he is nearing the end of his career, and like a responsible veteran, he’s letting everyone know he may be ready for a backup role. The 39-year-old unrestricted free agent is putting up numbers well below his career averages and now it’s a question of whether or not he can contribute to the Mavericks or any other team.
Kidd said he’d be willing to back up Jeremy Lin, Deron Williams or Steve Nash, hinting that he would go to New York, Brooklyn or Phoenix, or possibly have one of those point guards join the Mavs. It’s no secret that Mark Cuban really wants to bring in Williams and I’m sure he wouldn’t mind having Nash back in Dallas.
