Sometimes, Jason Kidd and Tim Duncan allow themselves to wonder what if.

Kidd and Duncan are teammates this summer in the Olympic qualifying tournament and will be again next summer in the Olympics. But as Kidd feeds Duncan with a pass at practice, it's only natural for them to think about what it would be like if this were a full-time thing.

"You think about what could have been if I went to San Antonio," Kidd said Wednesday at John Jay College. "But I'm here in New Jersey and I'm happy with my decision."

Duncan added, "I've been thinking about what could have been for a couple of years. It didn't happen. I'm happy with the teammates we picked up this year and the teammates that are returning [to the Spurs]."

Kidd admitted he was close to going to San Antonio. When he was there in July being wined and dined by Duncan and coach Gregg Popovich, he said, "I felt like I was on my way there."

"I had two situations that were good. I wasn't leaving a bad situation," said Kidd, who signed a six-year, $103 million deal to stay a Net. "That's what made things harder. I thought one of the hardest things to turn down was the opportunity to play with Tim, but I felt like I could win a championship in New Jersey."
