Knicks agree to three-year deal with Jason Kidd One day after missing out on a 38-year-old point guard, the New York Knicks went a bit further down the road and agreed to terms with 39-year-old Jason Kidd on a reported three-year deal. The Knicks struck out in their chase of Steve Nash, but in his place they obtained Kidd. Although not the offensive player that Nash is anymore, Kidd will provide the Knicks with seemingly the perfect template to join the backcourt and mentor Jeremy Lin - if Lin returns. However, the move might not be perfect. Kidd, believed to be coming for a total of $9 million, will take up the "mini" mid-level salary-cap exception the Knicks held - meaning they can no longer use it to pick up any of the pieces that they need now. Kidd spent the last 4 1/2 seasons in Dallas after being dealt away by the Nets, picking up a championship ring in 2011 when he played alongside current Knicks center Tyson Chandler. A person with knowledge of the deal said that Lin and the Houston Rockets have agreed to terms on a four-year contract offer. The person told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team hadn't officially announced the deal. Lin can sign the offer sheet with Houston on Wednesday, and the Knicks will then have three days to match the offer. The contract is worth $10.2 million over the first two seasons and $9.3 million in each of the last two years. The fourth season is a team option. The Orlando Magic and free-agent point guard Jameer Nelson have reached an agreement in principle on a new contract that will keep him with the franchise, Nelson told the Orlando Sentinel. Nelson, 30, would not disclose the length of the agreement or what his annual salaries will be, but the Sentinel reported that the deal will be for three seasons. San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker was included on the 12-man France squad for the London Olympics despite an eye injury that could prevent him from playing. Parker suffered a scratch on his cornea in a fight involving singer Chris Brown and members of hip-hop star Drake's entourage in a New York nightclub last month. Trio leads U.S. Women's Open Americans Cristie Kerr, Brittany Lincicome and Lizette Salas shot three-under-par 69 to share the first-round lead in the U.S. Women's Open at Kohler, Wis. Third-ranked Ai Miyazato, the Japanese star coming off a victory Sunday in the LPGA Tour event in Arkansas, was a stroke back along with 17-year-old Lexi Thompson, Jennie Lee and Beatriz Recari. Seven players - including No. 5 Na Yeon Choi and No. 6 Suzann Pettersen - shot 71 in nearly 100-degree heat and high humidity. Top-ranked Yani Tseng shot a 74. She would become the youngest player to complete a career Grand Slam with a victory this weekend. Michelle Wie also opened with a 74, and second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot 77.
