Which Team will Jason Kidd choose? Apparently his choice are down to four teams. The Nets, Mavs, Spurs or Nuggets. Jason Kidd will probably go with the Nets or the Spurs.

There's some hope for the Mavericks he might get traded to the Mavs for Mavericks point guard Steve Nash. My opinion is he will consider Spurs but stay with the Nets.
