http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4570 Recent articles about Jason Kidd en-us Not long ago, Knicks fan Danny Lanzetta, the child lead in one of those pleasant 1990s-era CBS shows, sent Bill Simmons an e-mail debunking his Ewing Theory. Simmons ignored him. So Danny did the next best thing: He e-mailed us. And why not? Since we're now apparently a detective agency and a recruiting service, I see no reason why we can't also serve as Bill Simmons' spam filter. Here's Danny's e-mail to us: Hello Folks: I know you guys are usually big fans of Bill Simmo...

But 3-point shooting has to be a weapon for them. If they don't perk up from their .349 percentage thus far, it's going to put a strain on other parts of their offense. Dallas Mavericks' ...

We can only hope. This may be the perfect game for us and them to truly see what kind of team it is going to be. Do not get me wrong by no means are the Raptors a good basketball team, but they are a team that the Mavs "should" put away and put away early.

 when teams officially can begin talking to free agents, and Kidd is
 expected to get overtures from several teams: Cleveland, Portland,
 Boston, New York and perhaps the Lakers. All of those
 teams except for Portland are stymied by the salary cap. The Knicks can
 only offer their mid-level exception, expected to be between $5 million
 and $6 million. Kidd earned $21 million last season.This is the first time I've read the ...
