Jason Kidd, playing in front of his home crowd for the first time since his trade request became public, was greeted to the usual loud cheers when he was introduced before the Nets' game against Charlotte on Tuesday night, ESPN is reporting.

"We tried to make this work. We've found out it doesn't," Kidd told ESPN The Magazine on Monday. "It's time for us all to move on."

Afterwards Kidd was not discussing Monday's comments.

"I've been here for seven years, and I've given a lot to the Nets and New Jersey's given a lot back to me," he said. "For a comment to ruin everything we've had, I didn't think that was going to be the scenario."
