Finally!

Well, the Nets look like they’re finally going to ship out Jason Kidd.
And they’re not getting robbed (like the Memphis Grizzlies did when they gave Pau Gasol away to the Lakers) - they’re getting Devin Harris, who is 10 years younger than Kidd, and a far more capable scorer from the point guard position. Kidd’s the better player over the course of his career, and he’s an incredible teammate, but the Nets are wise to get younger, gain some salary cap flexibility, and can now turn their attentions to the task of trading Vince Carter, who will flounder without Kidd. (He might score more, but it’ll be because nobody else is getting the ball.) We also get Mo Ager (supposedly) who was always a favorite of mine from his days as a Spartan.
I suspect this is the beginning of the end for Lawrence Frank, as well, which is probably for the best.
I will miss Kidd - he’s a joy to watch run the break and possibly the best defensive point guard since Gary Payton in his prime. I wish him all the best - I now have a rooting interest in the playoffs (assuming the Nets fizzle in the first round). Best Wishes, J-Kidd - you’ve deserved better for about a season and a half.

** Update - it looks like one of the lesser pieces of the deal (Devean George) is blocking the trade. Dammit.
