Liz Robbins of the New York Times reports: As the New Jersey Nets return to action tonight, Head coach Byron Scott is not worried about star point guard Jason Kidd  bolting for San Antonio this summer, when Kidd can become a free agent.

"He's a man that's keeping all of his options open," Scott said. "If I was in his position, I'd be doing the same thing."

Kidd has said that the Nets are still his top choice, but that he is eager to go through the free-agent process. Scott believes the Nets have the edge.

"I think the relationships that he's formed here are important," he said. "I think winning obviously is very important and I think family is important. Those three things being said, I think we have still have just as good a chance as anybody, and better, to get him back, or rather, to keep him here."

During All-Star weekend, Kidd said it would be hard to turn down playing with a big man like Tim Duncan with the San Antonio Spurs. There was also fueling speculation that Kidd had narrowed his choices to New Jersey and San Antonio.
