LAS VEGAS -- Cheerless to say, yet indisputably reasonable, in all likelihood, we've seen the last of Jason Kidd in a Nets uniform.

On the other hand, I suspect he'll never lose his ability to grace an occasional New York City tabloid front page.

Within the last week the Golden States Warriors, I'm informed, have communicated interest in the Oakland-native and certainly flaunt more than enough assets to outbid the Lakers for his services.
