The strongest trade rumor seeing Jason Kidd leave the Nets involved New Jersey, Portland and Dallas, with the Mavericks landing the big prize.

The scenario, which would have seen Kidd go to Dallas and the Nets receive Jerry Stackhouse and Devean George from the Mavs as well as Channing Frye, Jarrett Jack, and Travis Outlaw from Portland, has cooled, according to the New York Daily News. But, cooled on whose end?

The Daily News is reporting that Nets' President Rod Thorn is likely to hold out for more for Kidd, according to league sources.
