Jason Kidd was "on strike" last night, several team sources claimed. He essentially called in sick, perhaps seeking to force a trade from the Nets or gain a contract extension.

Coach Lawrence Frank said Kidd phoned him complaining of a migraine yesterday at about 2 p.m. Kidd never showed for the Nets' 100-93 defeat against the Knicks, also short-handed, at the Meadowlands last night.

"Everyone is going to have to sit down and figure out where we go from here," one source claimed.

KNICKS GIVE NETS MIGRAINE

I'd like to see have Jason Kidd have some real guts for once. If you want out so bad, tear up your contract. This was such a selfish thing to do to your team and why? Because you didn't get a contract extension. You're already making $100 million!!! This is why people can't stand professional athletes. The Nets should suspend him without pay for a week - at least.

Real classy. I'd hope no team goes after him. The NBA is full of such selfish, greedy players these days, on and off the court. Makes me sick.

To be fair, Kidd was on with Mike and the Mad Dog today and denied he would ever do that. He claims he was really sick. For some reason, I just don't believe him. To this day, he denies that he got Byron Scott fired.

The Nets team pres came out and said that story was hogwash.

Believe whatever you want I guess. His word versus the "secret source."

I will believe Kidd that he had a "migraine" because how unselfish he has been. But I do think he wants out of New Jersey

Kidd said on the radio he wants an extension, surprisingly.

But of course the Nets don't seem to want to give him one.
