Jason Kidd arrested on DUI
Jason Kidd mentoring Jeremy Lin was a nice story last week.
Then Kidd was arrested on a drunken-driving charge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lin's departure from New York for a "ridiculous contract" in Houston became more realistic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a position of strength suddenly was one of turbulence for the Knicks.
Kidd's arrest came within hours of the Knicks agreeing to a trade for fellow point guard Raymond Felton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], raising the possibility they will refuse to match Lin's offer sheet with the Rockets.
Police said Kidd crashed his SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons on Sunday, days after signing with the Knicks.
Treated at a hospital for minor injuries after the crash, Kidd was arraigned on a misdemeanour driving-while-intoxicated charge and released without bail, Southampton Town police said.
Phone and email messages were left seeking comment from Kidd's agent.
The Knicks, who signed the 10-time All-Star in free agency last week,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], had no immediate comment. in Water Mill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], police said. Water Mill is a serene, mainly residential community east of Southampton Village.
Kidd's next court date wasn't immediate available,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The DWI charge carries the potential for up to a year in jail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Knicks signed Kidd away from the Dallas Mavericks in a deal that will pay him about $3 million a year. Kidd had played in New Jersey, leading the Nets to two NBA Finals appearances, before being traded to Dallas and remains fond of the New York City area, where his children continue to live.
The two-time Olympic gold medallist has been in trouble with the law before. While playing with Phoenix in 2001, he was arrested on a domestic violence charge,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], acknowledging he struck his former wife.
Kidd is second on the NBA's career lists for assists and steals. Coach Mike Woodson said Kidd,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA championship,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would be a good tutor and backup for Lin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], whom he said would open next season as the starting point guard.
Now he may not even be in New York.
The Knicks have repeatedly said they would match any offer for Lin, but the Rockets made it difficult with a three-year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], $25 million deal that's worth about $15 million in the third year. EDT on Tuesday to match the offer sheet for the restricted free agent.
Asked if he could envision Lin being with the Knicks next season, All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony said: "At this point there's a lot going on. I stay away from that part right now. I would love to see him back, but I think he has to do what's best for him right now."
"It's not up to me,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Anthony said with a laugh. "It's up to the organization to say they want to match that ridiculous contract that's out there."
The Knicks wouldn't comment on their plans and never even confirmed whether they had received the offer sheet from Houston to start the three-day clock for matching the offer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Felton played well in half a season for the Knicks before he was dealt to Denver in February 2011 as part of the package for Anthony. He struggled this season in Portland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], briefing losing his starting job, but was considered an option for the Knicks if they couldn't land Steve Nash or Kidd to play with Lin.
