Kidd offers don't impress Nets

So far, the calls -- 15, 20 per day -- have pretty much followed the same pattern. It's not that Rod Thorn isn't interested to hear what his peers have to offer for Jason Kidd, but he finds himself checking his watch after the first few sentences. You can't blame Thorn's competitors for trying. Some may think they're doing him a favor, because he has a point guard who will make $21 million when he turns 36, and who needs that when his team is obviously going nowhere? So the phone rings and rings and rings. Jersey's in a tough spot," said one Eastern Conference GM, who requested anonymity so as not to meddle in Thorn's affairs. "It's not so different from last year, but you wonder what's really in the marketplace for a guy like Kidd."
