The Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James made it public that he would like the Cavs to pursue New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd.
Obviously, the Cavs don't have the right players to have make a deal but the only plausible deal I could see coming would be Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Daniel Gibson, and maybe some other players going to the Nets in exchange for Kidd by himself.
Perhaps the Cavs’ first-round draft pick?
Obviously, James cannot carry this team through the playoffs alone again. He needs another superstar to help him. Kidd would be perfect, although many other teams are also perusing him.
The Dallas Mavericks would like him but that would be need for a three team trade involving Portland Trailblazer. Devin Harris (who is hurt) would go to Portland, Jerry Stackhouse would go to New Jersey and Jason Kidd would go to Dallas, and some Portland players would be scattered in there somewhere.
Cleveland would be a good fit for Kidd; he would get tremendous help from James.
Just imagine Cavs fans—two players with a triple double each game. It would be spectacular.

That would be great...If I were the Cavs, I'd definitely give a 1st round and some players (I'd try and keep Gibson) for Kidd. I would have never thought of Kidd in Cleveland.

Would love to see Kidd here. Unfortunately,I think the Cavs would have to give up to much. We can't set them back to far with young talent we have now or talent to come in future drafts for a guy with maybe three season's left at best. Not to mention,we lose another big man and we will be in trouble down low and the oldest rule ever for GM's in the NBA is to never trade a big for a small. The x-factor in this though is nobody in the organization wants LeBron unhappy. LeBron say's jump,99 percent of the time how high will be the response. I don't see this getting done with salary matching requirments either,but I guess you never know.

How could anyone think that we would need to get rid of Z and Boobie and possibly another! Z might be old but he is still one of the most effective centers in the league. Then in the same article you mention Stackhouse being involved in a man for man deal. NO WAY. Gibson is shooting 46% from the arc following a great rookie season. Z, Gibby, and someone else...CRAZY!
