Kidd Trade? Kobe v Lebron

In recent reports it's looked like Jason Kidd's agent has requested that the New Jersey Nets trade the star point guard. According to NY Daily News, Jason Kidd hasn't spoken with his agent Jeff Schwartz in weeks so he has no knowledge of any requests. As for now Kidd is still in New Jersey leading the show for the losing-record Nets. However you'd have to believe his career is in the late stages and he wouldn't mind playing for a title contender. Somehow the Nets botched the game in Minnesota Sunday night despite having the lead late in the fourth. May be a good time for J Kidd to find his new team. Read the full story here

In other news, Andris Biedrins is officially a rebounding monster. The Golden State F/C pulled down 26 rebounds in a win against the New York Knicks last night. This is the highest number of boards pulled down by anyone this season, with 24 being the previous high. The Warrirors beat the Knicks 106-104 in a contest that came down to the wire.

In other games, Hedo Turkoglu's buzzer beater ended up beating the Celtics 96-93 in Orlando. This is the second time Orlando has taken out the team supposed to be top contender of the East. It shows the Celtics vulnerability to lose to top contenders in the Eastern Conference, so it's hard to see them knocking off a West Coast team in the Finals, should they even make it. There has been recent speculation that the Celtics may try to add Damon Stoudamire to the mix.

Also Sunday marked a battle between Lebron and Kobe. Despite a pause for a leaky roof, Lebron James got the best of Kobe at the Staples Center and the Cavs were victorious. Lebron scored a game high 41 points and Kobe led the Lakers with 33.
