Knicks Get Kidd and Make Plans to Keep Lin
By HOWARD BECK


Star point guards kept flying off the market — one to their crosstown rivals, one to Hollywood, one to Dallas — and all the Knicks could do was grit their teeth, cross names off the board and wait for some improbable twist of fate.

That moment, and the point guard, at last arrived Thursday afternoon.

Jason Kidd, who was set to rejoin the Dallas Mavericks, made a late and stunning reversal and agreed to join the Knicks instead. Negotiations were continuing Thursday night, and it was not yet clear whether the Knicks would sign Kidd outright or acquire him in a sign-and-trade deal.

Just as Kidd committed, the Knicks learned that Jeremy Lin, their promising 23-year-old point guard, had agreed to an offer sheet with the Houston Rockets, complicating the picture further.

The Rockets’ offer could be worth as much as $28.8 million over four years, with backloaded payments in the final two seasons, according to a person who was briefed on the details. The fourth year is a team option. Because Lin is a restricted free agent, the Knicks have the right to match the deal.

As a Nets fan..... I'll never look at him the same way =/ Joining our Arch-Rivals tarnished his legacy with the Nets as one of our best players.

At least that's how a lot of the NJ Net fans look at it. (NJ Nets and not BK Nets because BK has no history with J Kidd.)

He's not that good anyway at this point so good luck with the signing. Don't know how much he can help you.

He's killing it right now, and everyone who posted on this thread hatin on him look like fools.

Kidd is hitting 3's, playing D, running the offense and making everyne else around him better.

I do love the pics though
