Jason Kidd wants to trade out of the New Jersey Nets

New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd want to be traded out of the team.

Jason Kidd wants to trade out of the New Jersey Nets Jason Kidd confirmed his desire to trade out of the struggling New Jersey Nets, but the move is not in his hands, this time. "We tried to make this work. We've found out it doesn't. It's time for us all to move on," Jason Kidd told ESPN, officially declaring his desire to leave the team on Monday.

This is not the first time Kidd fires rumors about a future trade - the Nets were ready to ship the guard to the L.A. Lakers last February, but Kidd remains with New Jersey to this day after the negotiations reportedly failed. And at the beginning of the season, Kidd said that he has no desire to leave the team, but that was when the Nets held 9-10 record. Today the New Jersey Nets are sitting on 18-26 and Jason Kidd want out again. But Kidd is under contract through the end of next season and will make $19.7 million this year and $21.3 million next year, after re-signing with the Nets in 2003, the deal worth a total of $99 million.

New Jersey Nets officials have not commented on Jason Kidd's remarks.
