Published reports from New Jersey indicated that the Suns were attempting to acquire Jason Kidd by offering Kurt Thomas, Raja Bell and a draft pick.

"Raja gets about three calls at 7:30 this morning," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "We're not trading Raja. That's nuts. That's crazy."

David Griffin, the team's vice president of basketball operations, said he spoke to several teams from across the league, but in the end it just didn't "make sense to break up this team."
