July 6, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors
For whatever reason, the Knicks have recently tended to be a punchline of sorts. They haven’t earned much respect around the league. But with the addition of the highly respected Jason Kidd, that may change. After failing on their attempts to work out a sign and trade to acquire Steve Nash, the Knicks set their sites on the Mavericks veteran Jason Kidd. Also, Kidd should prove as a good mentor to Lin in the backcourt.
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.
