Rod Thorn sounds very patient as he approaches the trade deadline. He's not going to move "precipitously" on Jason Kidd's trade demand: "People who have dealt with me know this is what we will do and this is what we won't do". As for players turning private requests for a trade into public demands, Thorn said, "Historically it hurts more than it helps" and he's willing to wait it all out. Meanwhile, everyone has their Sunday trade suggestions for Kidd ... and Vince Carter.
