Can Pelister: Jason Kidd will sign w/ New York Knicks, a source close to Kidd told me. Twitter
Not the best source but a possibility. What if the Knicks acquire Jason Kidd. The article below puts a good 5 reasons on getting Kidd. I agree as I'm sure you agree getting Kidd would help, but maybe I'm wrong.

During his first tenure with the Mavericks, Kidd?s salary totaled $55 million. When he left the Mavericks for the New Jersey Nets, Kidd signed a six-year, $99 million deal. Since returning to Dallas, Kidd has played three seasons and has earned himself another $24.5 million, for a combined total of $178.5 million.
Now that his career is coming to a close, Kidd will most likely take a pay cut to play for the team of his choosing. He will most likely sign the veteran?s minimum contract, which for a player with his experience will total $1.35 million.
The Knicks don?t have much money to spend on potential free agents, so being able to sign Kidd for cheap will allow them to also go after a big man or wing player with their Mid Level Exception.
