With a grain of salt

That's how I'd take Jason Terry's comment after the Game 5 clincher that the Mavericks have a great sense of urgency because Jason Kidd probably won't be back next season ... Not saying Kidd is a slam-dunk to return. That's what free agency is for. Players see how much money they can make and/or see what kind of great situation they can land in ... But mostly, they see how much money they can get ... Kidd has plenty of dough, but who doesn't want more, right? ... Terry made his comment in the

Will the second round be Jason Kidd's Mavericks swan song?

Maybe Jason Terry didn't mean exactly what he said during his postgame interview on the Mavs' TV broadcast last night (via Mavs Moneyball via The Two Man Game) ... "Over the last three years we've obviously been through a lot of adversity -- not getting out of the first round ... But that's not our goal ... Our goal is to win a championship ...

How many starting point guards in the West under the age of 30 will be playing after Saturday?

Mark Cuban asked that question to the Twitter masses in the wee hours of this morning ... The answer, unless New Orleans wins the next two games, is one. Either 29-year-old Steve Blake or 24-year-old Aaron Brooks will advance to the second round, but neither of those guys merits mention in conversations about the league's elite point guards ... This comes across as a clever hint from Cuban that the Jason Kidd trade was indeed a wise move. After all, 26-year-old Devin Harris didn't make the
