Jason Kidd to Meet with NY Knicks on Wednesday

Jason Kidd will host a meeting with the New York Knicks on Wednesday morning, according to the New York Daily News.

Kidd, 36, could sign with the Knicks for the mid-level exception, which is expected to be between $5 million and $6 million, or the team could negotiate a sign-and-trade with the Dallas Mavericks.

The Knicks have been actively seeking a point guard. They are still interested in Ricky Rubio, the No. 5 pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, and have expressed strong interest in a deal to get him from the Minnesota Timberwolves. They also were looking at Milwaukee Bucks guard Ramon Sessions, but he has agreed to a deal to remain with the Bucks.

The Knicks are trying to gather some attractive players to entice Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, who becomes a free agent next summer. Having Kidd on the team could be a great attraction for James.

Last season, Kidd earned $21.37 million in salary while playing for the Mavs. He averaged a career-low 9.0 points per game, to go along with 8.7 assists and 6.1 rebounds in his second stint with Dallas, the team that drafted him.

Cleveland, Portland, Boston, and perhaps the Lakers are interested in Kidd. All but Portland are halted by the salary cap.
