Veteran Point Guard Jason Kidd Agrees to Deal With New York Knicks
In an unforeseen reversal, Jason Kidd has decided to leave the Dallas Mavericks to join the New York Knicks.
“I think I can help,” Kidd told ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher, adding that he felt the Knicks have more “pieces to work with.”
With the Mavericks confident they were closing in Thursday on a verbal agreement on a three-year deal with Kidd worth $9 million, sources told ESPN.com that Kidd — after all-day deliberations with both teams — has decided instead to leave Dallas to join the Knicks for a similar deal.
Kidd to the Knicks and Nash to Lakers. Interesting.
