Just Kidd-ing?

February 14, 2008

Well, turns out it’s not a done deal after all. Jason Kidd remains a Net for the moment thanks to Devean George invoking his right to block a trade via a little known rule that allows players on a one-year contract, but who spent the previous season with the same team and are then eligible for Early Bird free-agent rights at the end of the contract, can’t be traded without their approval.

It sounds like this trade won’t be held up for long, but there is a possibility that George sticks to his guns. We’ve got a week until the trade deadline gets here, so something will happen soon.

Anyway, did anyone see Steve Novak drop the Kings like they were hot last night? Clutch.
