Rod Boone ran into Jason Kidd at Fashion Week Tuesday and tweeted out Kidd's comments on his jersey retirement ceremony, Paul Pierce exhibiting leadership qualities, who's been working out at the PNY Center what he thinks about all this trash-talking between the Nets and Knicks.
Kidd told me his jersey retirement will take place before tipoff Oct. 17 vs. #Heat. He said he didn't want ceremony to take away from game.

Kidd also cracked: "I've got older guys, so I don't want them to dry up during halftime." #Nets

Kidd told me Paul Pierce is among crew that's already been getting it in at #Nets facility. Said it shows "his dedication, his leadership."

I asked Kidd if he wants #Nets to dial back the #Knicks chatter and trash talking: "That's who my guys are. They have to be who they are."

Funniest quote from Kidd: After he turns around and sees me upon walking into Fashion Week booth he smiles and says, "You must be bored!"
