Kidd Is Heading to New York.

Jason Kidd was close to signing with the Dallas Mavericks for 3 years, 9 million deal. But in a strange turn of events, Kidd will now play with the New York Knicks.  The Knicks are going to use the Mini Mid Level in order to sign the veteran guard.  New York is hoping to bring Kidd as a mentor to Jeremy Lin and another guard who can pass and organize an offense.

Signing Kidd to a three year deal at this point it's not a good signing,  i get that he has a very high iq and can help Lin, but at this point Kidd is only a spot up shooter and not the dynamic guard he once was.  At the end of his three year deal, Kidd will end up being 42 years old. Knicks fans aren't too pissed about this, at least he's better than Toney Douglas, right?

Boston Celtics and Jason Terry agreed to a deal.

The Boston Celtics are looking to reload and make yet another attempt to the take the Eastern Conference away from the Miami Heat.  Boston agreed to sign Jason Terry to a three year, 15 million contract, while hoping to get back Ray Allen as well.  Jason Terry despite being 34 years old, is a deadly shooter from everywhere on the court, isn't afraid to take pressure shots and can handle the ball. Terry will give a new dimension to the Celtics bench, something they lacked off the bench during the past two seasons.   Terry wasn't too happy when he wanted to get a deal done with the Mavs before the season ended and the Mavs weren't too interested.
 
The Dallas Mavericks are unlikely to match the offer.
