To say Jason Kidd is an unhappy camper is an understatement.  In the second time in less than a week Kidd has sounded off about the Nets, and this time he has officially begun to boycott evening practice sessions being conducted by coach Lawrence Frank.  Kidd is unable to participate while rehabilitating his left knee and questions why his availability during this time is warranted.

"It was no misunderstanding," Kidd said when asked why he had not attended evening sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday. "I don't come at night - with permission or without permission. That's up to them if they want to fine me."

The 31-year-old Kidd said that neither he nor his agent, Jeff Schwartz, had been contacted by the Nets about a fine. The Nets held only one practice session Thursday. On Friday, they will resume their two-a-day workouts.

Kidd expressed his frustration with the moves the Nets made in the offseason earlier in the week, as it becomes increasingly clear that he'd like to be moved when he returns from injury.

"We have team rules, like everybody else, which all players are expected to comply with," Nets' Chief Executive Rod Thorn said Thursday in a telephone interview.

Frank said: "Everyone's expected to be here. But our focus right now is the guys on the floor."

"I'm not playing," Kidd said. "I'm hurt. I'm rehabbing. Don't let things get confused here. I don't come at night because I'm rehabbing. I'm not sitting here for three hours to watch practice. Me sitting here for three hours is not helping me rehab."
