In a press conference Tuesday, Rod Thorn said the Nets had to trade Jason Kidd because after six years, the team could not count on him every night. Still, said Thorn, he will always be a Jason Kidd fan, noting how much he gave the franchise. The Nets president said Keith Van Horn will work out with the team to see if he can resume his career in New Jersey and he hinted delays in the Mavs' talks may have hurt the team in other negotiations.
