Yeah, it's official though.http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/04/s...-kidd-announces-retirement-from-nba.html?_r=0Kidd is our best coach on the staff .. we cant afford to let him retire, until Kidd could get Amare & Melo to win 5 straight games together...
He had nothing left. It's a definite relief to the cap even though his 3 mil won't really make a significant difference. It does open up a much needed roster spot for a younger PG.
It's a shame, he gave us so much during the regular season. Due to poor coaching and injuries everything he had left in the tank was sapped from him and by the time the playoffs arrived he was dead in the water, a shell of his former self.
He coulda had another good year imo. Still, it's a blessing to have that cap and roster spot.
Now just waiting for Camby to retire.
Man, you got zero respect for a HOF PG.
No thanks for what Kidd brought to the Knicks.
Everyone seem to forgot how well Kidd played before his slump.
Fake fans you are.
Shame on anyone who rejoices over Kidd's retirement...he was a leader amongst this team and a wizard on the court defensively....let's hope he can land a coaching spot with the Knicks, his mind is still the amongst the best with Duncan and Bryant and James...it's obvious Kidd's body can't take anymore NBA action.
Man, we got some ****ty fans in here these days.
I was really disappointed about his playoff performance, like the regular season he had some good moments but he was hardly the difference maker that he was brought in to be.I'm a KNICKS fan. Were you blind or something? Kidd was done halfway through the season. He's done some great things in the league but unfortunately he's 40 and won't help our cause to winning a championship. That spot should go to a younger player with upside. Just because someone is a future HOF player doesn't mean his career doesn't have an ending.
And WTH am I thanking? Can Kidd see my KOL posts? Let's be real, he had some good moments here but overall he was average at best. He was inconsistent and didn't create for guys like you thought he would coming into the season. His game was mostly playing the passing lanes and spot up shooting (which he eventually lost). Also, I didn't see a leader on the court. If so, JR and Melo would have toned down their iso-heavy spurts. Praise him all you want for what he's done in the past, which is well deserved, but don't act like he was some saving grace for the team. I believe Pablo actually contributed more throughout the season.
