Jason Kidd has given the Dallas Mavericks a verbal commitment that he will re-sign with the team Wednesday, according to NBA front-office sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that Kidd, 36, will receive a 3-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth in excess of $25 million.

Kidd elected to stay in Dallas in the face of a hard push from the New York Knicks, who last week offered Kidd the most they could ($19 million over three years).

Signing Kidd for more than one season would have impacted the Knicks' efforts to amass substantial salary cap space for the summer of 2010, and they're expected to woo Cleveland's LeBron James and at least one other top free agent.

In that scenario, pressure on Knicks president Donnie Walsh to trade either Eddy Curry or Jared Jeffries -- or both -- would have increased significantly, but sources say that Walsh and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni felt that acquiring Kidd would have been worth such hassles because of their confidence in Kidd's ability to change the Knicks' culture.

Kidd's interest in returning to the Atlantic Division was mutual, but the Mavericks were always considered favorites to re-sign him because they could comfortably exceed the Knicks' max offer of three years at the projected mid-level exception of $5.8 million per year.

Although Kidd initially sent signals that he planned to take the full holiday weekend before making a decision, Dallas began inching closer to a deal on Friday when Kidd and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban met at Cuban's house.

Wednesday is the first day teams can formally sign free agents to new contracts after the NBA announces the salary cap and luxury tax figures for the 2009-10 season.

if they trade Kidd it's because they have their eyes on another PG... they aren't going to start JJ unless they want to miss the playoffs and rebuild their team next year

Eric Scholwinski · 06-30-09, 02:24 PM

I wonder who though...

who cares... Mavs suck ass either way

JJ could def not take the reigns as a starter. He's got a place - and its as a sub to get something going. I'm sure (if they trade kidd) they have their eyes on someone.

Kidd is an unrestricted free agent. It wouldn't be a trade.

Bold prediction there, Kreskin.

And I think CP3 to Dallas is still a distinct possibility.

The talk has quieted down, but I think it will pick back up soon(especially when the Mavs lose Kidd to another team). NO is in a worse financial situation than the Suns and you've seen how the Suns are dumping salary; they were giving away Chandler for pennies on the dollar earlier this season.
