text: was jason kidd ever on the phoenix suns?   yes he was, but he was actually traded for stephon marbury, you think kidd chose to go the nets?  at one point in time the suns had j-kidd, an old kevin johnson and a young steve nash stuck deep on the bench.  then kj retired, nash was signed by the mavericks in a deal thought to be way too high at the time, and kidd went to the nets for starbury.  they tried marbury for a while but the stigma of how much kidd succeeded in jersey led to marbury getting traded to the knicks and nash coming back to the suns as a free agent in a deal thought to be way too high at the time, detecting a pattern?
