The NBA, after speaking to Spurs officials Friday, decided there was no tampering connected to Jason Kidd's plan to visit San Antonio.

After the Nets star's plan to visit San Antonio on July6 and 7 was disclosed Thursday, some people wondered how he arrived at those dates. Spurs GM R.C. Buford told a San Antonio reporter that was the first he had heard of such a visit.

No team may negotiate with Kidd or his agent, Jeff Schwartz, before Tuesday, when free agents become free to talk to anyone.

"We spoke to the Spurs to make sure nobody was to (make contact) in an inappropriate manner," a league spokesman said.
